Travertine is a climate tech start-up based in Boulder, CO that is rapidly scaling an electrochemical technology for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and sustainable critical element extraction. Our process takes carbon dioxide from the air and sources of waste sulfate to produce carbonate minerals, sulfuric acid, and hydrogen. The sulfuric acid is used in industrial applications such as extracting critical elements like lithium and nickel for EV batteries and phosphorus for fertilizer. The Travertine process was developed by Prof. Laura Lammers at her UC Berkeley lab. Travertine was founded in 2022 to scale this process to gigatons per year of CDR.
In 2022, we raised a seed round from the Grantham Foundation and Clean Energy Ventures. We were one of the first companies to receive pre-purchases of CDR from the new Stripe-led $1B Frontier fund, and we received a $2M grant from the DOE’s ARPA-E program. We were also named C&EN 10 startups to watch in 2022 and a finalist for the Bloomberg NEF Pioneers award in 2023. We believe in developing practical approaches to solving the climate crisis.
The Role
We are looking for an experienced Engineering Project Manager to manage the engineering design, procurement, and construction for our on-site CDR projects starting with several pilot-scale projects. This role will interface between our executive team, R&D team, EPC partner, vendors, and subcontractors to deliver projects on budget and on time.
This role requires expertise in both engineering design and procurement as well as management of partners, subcontractors, and vendors. We are looking for someone with a degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or similar and 3-10 years of experience managing engineering and construction projects in the chemical, mining, or fertilizer industry.
You will be responsible for our projects staying on schedule and on or under budget. This role is ideally based in Boulder, CO, however exceptional remote candidates based in the US will also be considered.
Responsibilities
- Project Management throughout the full life cycle of Travertine’s projects starting with engineering design all the way through commissioning.
- Managing the interface between internal R&D team, EPC partner, vendors, and site partners.
- Review and contribution to engineering design, component selection, and cost-benefit analyses.
- Managing project schedule and budget.
Qualifications
- Degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or equivalent
- 3-10 years of experience in Engineering Project Management
- Experience building both pilot and commercial-scale facilities
- Experience in the chemical industry
- Experience in the chloralkai industry is a plus
- Ability to function as an individual contributor and manage multiple stakeholders.
- Desire to scale technologies that benefit society and the environment.
This role is based in our headquarters in Boulder, CO.
Salary range is $90,000-$160,000/yr depending on experience.
Benefits
- Stock options
- Health, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance
- Optional 401k
- Flexible time off policy
