Description

About Charm

Our mission is to return the atmosphere to 280 ppm CO₂. We convert excess inedible biomass into carbon-rich bio-oil and inject it into underground storage for permanent carbon removal. At scale, we can use bio-oil to make fossil-free iron.

Our carbon removal efforts began in 2020 with initial purchases from customers like Stripe, Shopify, and Microsoft. Since then, we’ve scaled to thousands of tons of carbon removal, grown to over a hundred employees, and established three locations in San Francisco, Colorado, and Louisiana.

We're expanding our team of ambitious, creative, and hands-on problem solvers. We value psychological safety, collaboration, and continuous learning. We take calculated risks and treat mistakes as opportunities to improve. If you're excited about tackling big challenges, we encourage you to explore our company values.

Come help us reverse climate change. Gigatons or bust!

About the Role

Charm is seeking a Staff Industrial Site Development Engineer to lead the engineering, layout, and physical integration of our production facilities. This role serves as the engineering owner for the physical design of Charm's industrial sites—transforming process concepts into safe, maintainable, constructible, and scalable operating facilities.

You'll work across nearly every engineering discipline, partnering with Process Development, Mechanical Engineering, Civil & Structural Engineering, Facilities, Construction, Operations, Procurement, EPC contractors, equipment vendors, and regulatory agencies to ensure every facility functions as one integrated system. Rather than owning an individual process, you'll own how the entire facility comes together.

From concept development through commissioning, you'll make critical engineering decisions regarding equipment placement, utilities, site infrastructure, constructability, maintenance access, traffic flow, regulatory compliance, and future expansion. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys solving multidisciplinary industrial design challenges and wants to leave a lasting impact on the facilities that will enable Charm's long-term growth.
