About CRA

CRA Energy (Combustion Research Associates)

designs and manufactures custom-engineered process equipment. Our range covers

flare systems, thermal oxidisers, burner management systems, H2S scrubbers,

biogas upgrading and gas compression.

Founded in 1993, CRA has more than 800

installations in over 25 countries. Process, mechanical and electrical design,

fabrication and machining are all done in-house near Delhi.

You will lead CRA's applications team. You

own the technical and commercial basis of every proposal, and take on process

design work on won orders when required.

You lead a small team of engineers and

check their work. You also represent CRA in technical discussions with clients

and consultants.
