Job description

At Dalsem, we strive for a sustainable revolution in the greenhouse horticulture sector. Our state-of-the-art, high-tech greenhouses are at the forefront of technological advancement and sustainability, fully developed by us with systems for air, water, light, heat, and CO2 management. With greenhouses averaging 20 hectares in size, we are setting new standards for scale and efficiency. The heart of our organization is our factory in Den Hoorn, where our headquarters is also located-a place where design starts, and the final product goes out the door. Everything under one roof.

Since 2022, we have been part of Cofra's Sustainable Food Group, a family office with a long-term vision. Our goal: to become the international market leader in sustainable greenhouses.

Engineer Greenhouse Climate Systems

As a Climate Systems Engineer at Dalsem, you are responsible for developing, designing, and implementing efficient and sustainable climate systems for our high-tech greenhouses. This includes heating, cooling, CO2 dosing, and ventilation systems, as well as complete climate and energy systems. You ensure these systems perform optimally by determining the necessary heating and cooling capacities, selecting suitable heat and cold sources, and designing the distribution and delivery systems.

You will work closely with clients, stakeholders, and multidisciplinary teams to define project objectives and requirements. You start by designing systems based on client requirements and technical specifications, standards, and guidelines. This could range from developing a CO2 dosing system for a greenhouse in the desert to implementing an innovative heating system that utilizes residual heat from a nearby biomass plant for a greenhouse in Canada. Detailed technical calculations and planning are the foundation for the system's implementation.

In addition to design and implementation, you are also responsible for the integration of the systems. This means designing systems that not only meet the specific requirements and needs of our clients but also aim for maximum energy efficiency. Through your contributions, systems are implemented that provide the necessary climate with minimal energy input.

You will work in a team of 25 people in the engineering department, divided into different disciplines within our high-tech greenhouses. Within climate systems, you won't be working alone; there's already a specialist in this field on board. We are looking to expand this sub-team with two new employees: a junior and an experienced engineer.

Documentation and reporting are also important aspects of your role. You will contribute to improvement proposals, develop new standards and work methods, and ensure a timely and accurate flow of information to all internal and external stakeholders. You will regularly report to the Head of Engineering on project progress.
