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.

About Charm
Our mission is to reverse climate change and return the atmosphere to 280 ppm CO₂, profitably. We convert waste biomass into carbon-rich bio-oil and inject it into permanent, underground storage as carbon removal, or reform the bio-oil to produce syngas for fossil-free steel.
Our carbon removal pathway took off in 2020 with initial purchases from customers like Stripe, Shopify & Microsoft. In 2021 and 2022 we delivered thousands of tons of carbon removal via off-the-shelf pathways, and also deployed our first R&D prototype pyrolyzer of our own. In the next 18 months, we'll build and deploy the next pyrolyzer revision, demonstrate our fossil-free ironmaking pilot, substantially expand our operations in Colorado and put thousands of tonnes of CO₂e underground.
We're looking to expand our team of ambitious creative and hands-on engineers, fabricators, operators, and forward-thinking humans. We value psychological safety and collaboration. We take calculated risks and don't sweep mistakes under the rug; instead, we pin them to the wall and learn from them. We value that everyone’s unique backgrounds and perspectives shape their work. We encourage you to read our company values.
Come help us reverse climate change. Gigatons or bust!
About the Role
Charm Industrial is looking for a Field Operations Director to join our team. In this position, you will be responsible for scaling the pyrolyzer operations team at a critical moment in our growth – you’ll fight climate change on the front lines!
You will be responsible for managing and building a 50+ person team to continue our 24/7 operations. The ideal candidate is an exceptional people manager and team builder who is excited to blend strategic thinking with their technical ability.

This role will be expected to spend time physically working on the machines with the team and is best suited for someone who is excited to both be in the field and take ownership over the growth and long term direction of the team.
This role will create training and development opportunities that enable the operators to maximize bio-oil production. You will be responsible for providing input on expansion of the fleet, including hiring strategies in new geographies, and fleet deployments, including managing operator scheduling and benefits while they are working outside of their core geography. This role will be critical in successfully scaling our bio-oil production and getting to Gigaton-scale carbon removal!
