Combustion and emission control equipment for oil, gas, and industrial processes
John Zink designs and manufactures industrial burners, flares, thermal oxidizers, and vapor control systems for energy and process industries. The tech stack—STAR-CCM+, ANSYS Fluent, Python, OpenFOAM—reflects heavy computational fluid dynamics (CFD) work; active projects around AI simulation expansion and CFD capability improvement signal a shift toward predictive modeling and digital twin capabilities. Engineering dominates the hiring mix, but distributed team efficiency and material delivery timelines appear in pain points, suggesting scaling friction as a 1,000+ person hardware manufacturer.
Notable leadership hires: Commercial Director
John Zink, part of Koch Engineered Solutions, manufactures combustion and emission control systems for refineries, petrochemical plants, power generation, and waste-to-energy facilities. The product line spans process and boiler burners, flare stacks, thermal oxidizers, flare gas recovery, and vapor control—deployed in onshore, offshore, and landfill/biogas applications. Operations span engineering, manufacturing, and support across the United States, Canada, and Luxembourg. The company is actively building out EHS compliance infrastructure (ISO 45001 implementation, audit support), scaling CFD simulation capabilities, and investing in startup/commissioning services.
CFD modeling (STAR-CCM+, ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, MATLAB), process control (Allen-Bradley PLC, HMI, Wonderware), manufacturing (Mazak CNC), analytics (Power BI), and cloud infrastructure (AWS).
Primary hiring in the United States, with active recruitment also in Canada and Luxembourg. Engineering roles comprise the majority of open positions (37 of 59 active roles).
CFD capability expansion, AI-driven simulation, EHS/ISO 45001 compliance systems, equipment commissioning support, and continuous process improvement across global teams.
