About the company:

Charm Industrial is working to return the atmosphere to 280 ppm CO₂. We design, build and operate a fleet of mobile fast pyrolyzers that convert ag and forest biomass residues into bio-oil for use in carbon removal and direct-reduced-iron steelmaking.

In 2020 our Chief Scientist and co-founder Shaun Meehan had two breakthroughs (bio-oil intermediate and bio-oil sequestration) that kickstarted the company. Within 10 months we completed our first carbon removal injection and in 2021 we completed more than 5,000 tons of CO₂e removal for customers like Stripe, Shopify and Microsoft.

If playing with fire (safely) and fixing delightfully weird machines to fight climate change sounds like fun, we saved you a seat! Charm Industrial is on the hunt for a curious and bold Pyrolyzer Operator to help us turn weird science into real-world climate solutions!

Why Charm:

At Charm Industrial, we’re not just talking about reducing wildfires, improving agricultural soil, health and fighting climate change—we’re actually doing it. Our technology converts excess biomass into carbon-rich bio-oil and injects it underground for permanent carbon removal. It’s bold. It’s scalable. And it’s working.

We’ve already removed thousands of tons of CO₂, and we’re just getting started! Our customers include names like Microsoft, Shopify, and Stripe, and our team includes creative, gritty people who thrive on innovation, ownership, and mission. We take our mission seriously, but not ourselves—expect weird biomass moments, silly machine names, and a lot of joy in doing hard things together.

If you're excited to work with purpose, learn as you go, and help pioneer something the world has never seen before—we want you on our team!

Ready to get your hands dirty for something that matters? APPLY NOW and be part of a team making climate history - gigatons or bust!

Applications will be accepted through July 1, 2025

What's In It For You

Competitive Pay: $20–$30/hour depending on experience

Work-Life Balance Like No Other: Enjoy a 4-days on / 4-days off schedule with 12-hour shifts—more time to rest, explore, or just be weird and wonderful.

Fully Paid Health Coverage: We cover 100% of your medical premiums because staying healthy shouldn’t come at a cost.

Stock Options: You're not just clocking in—you’re investing in the future of carbon removal.

401(k) with Matching: We match 50% of contributions up to 6%—save for the future while you help save the planet (after 1 year of service with no additional vesting periods after that).

Paid Time Off & Parental Leave: Recharge with time off and take care of what matters most.

Annual Professional Development Stipend: We pay you to keep learning, because curiosity is part of the job.

On-Site Perks: Healthy snacks and subsidized lunches—because solving climate change works up an appetite.

Big Mission, Real Impact: Be part of a company literally burying carbon underground—on purpose, and at scale.

How You Stand Out

1–3 years working with heavy machinery, mechanical systems, or industrial equipment

Experience operating forklifts, telehandlers, skid steers, tractors, or a strong willingness to learn

You troubleshoot like a pro and don’t flinch when things get weird—you just roll up your sleeves and figure it out.

You’ve got field grit—lifting 50 lbs, climbing ladders, and crawling into tight spaces doesn’t faze you.

You show up with a good attitude, not excuses—you’re solution-focused, ownership-minded, and always ready to pitch in.

You’re not just here for a job—you’re here for a mission, and the idea of making real climate impact fires you up.

You’re adventure-ready and open to traveling to remote job sites for up to 2 weeks at a time.

You thrive on rhythm and routine—a 4-on / 4-off, 12-hour shift schedule (including nights when needed) suits your lifestyle just fine.

Your Role In Action

Operate and Maintain: Run one or more of our field-based pyrolyzer systems to safely and efficiently produce bio-oil used for carbon removal.

Problem Solve in the Field:Diagnose downtime issues, perform preventative maintenance, and offer real-time feedback to improve equipment performance.

Drive Safety Standards: Maintain a clean and secure job site, follow safety protocols, and provide input on safety improvements.

Collaborate Across Teams: Work with field operators, engineers, vendors, and support teams to keep operations running 24/7.

Make an Impact:Your data reporting and equipment insights directly contribute to customer reports and system design improvements.
