Energy infrastructure operator scaling refinery operations in Brazil
Acelen is a refinery and energy infrastructure operator backed by Mubadala Capital, founded in 2021 to build production capacity in Brazil. The tech stack is heavily SAP-centric (S/4HANA, SD, BTP, ABAP) with Power BI for analytics—a classic ERP-first posture for capital-intensive operations. Active hiring skews senior and engineering-focused, with projects spanning distillation tower investment, continuous process improvement, and large-scale maintenance shutdowns, suggesting a ramp-out phase where operational efficiency and capital discipline are competing priorities.
Acelen operates refinery and energy generation assets in Brazil under Mubadala Capital ownership. The company was founded in 2021 and currently employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people, headquartered in São Paulo. The business is structured around maximizing production throughput and operational margins across petrochemical and power generation units, with material focus on capital project delivery, regulatory tax compliance, and cost management across procurement and chemical inputs. The organization is actively hiring across engineering, legal, operations, and finance roles, concentrated in Brazil.
Acelen's primary stack is SAP-native: S/4HANA for ERP, SAP SD for sales/distribution, ABAP for custom development, and SAP BTP for platform extensions. Power BI handles analytics and reporting. Python is used for additional analytics work.
