All across the world, from the azure pools of Turkey and Oman to the travertine terraces of Yellowstone, our planet quietly pulls carbon dioxide from the air and turns it to stone. For eons, Earth has relied on this process to balance its carbon cycle. What if it could be harnessed? What if we could do it faster, in larger quantities, and at a low enough cost to make it an effective tool in the fight against climate change?
At Heirloom, we are turning that into reality. We use the natural carbon capture properties of abundant minerals to pull CO2 from the air, and store it permanently underground. We come to work every day to slow climate change, and are united behind a single, common goal - to remove 1 billion tons of CO2 from the sky by 2035, and to not stop before we get there.
We bring together the precise recipe of science, technology, know-how, and strategy necessary to make low cost, high quality carbon removal a reality. If we’re successful, we will directly mitigate climate change, build a world we can proudly hand over to our children and grandchildren, and catalyze an industry that will rival the largest the world has ever seen. If you want to change the planet, come join us.
Heirloom is committed to diversity and building an equitable and inclusive environment for people of all backgrounds and experiences. We believe wholeheartedly that building a diverse company is critical to Heirloom’s success. We especially encourage members of traditionally underrepresented communities to apply, including women, people of color, LGBTQ+ people, veterans, and people with disabilities.
The Heirloom team is on a path to creating a sustainable, scalable, and economically viable carbon removal system. This technology - which requires a unique blend of geology, chemistry, industrial engineering, and process engineering - doesn’t yet exist at the scales necessary to make a difference, so we need to build it ourselves.
We are looking to hire a dedicated and driven laboratory manager to oversee the safe operation and maintenance of our analytical laboratory. This position requires excellent communication, management, and laboratory skills. You will have the opportunity to be hands-on in the laboratory, as well as oversee technicians and work directly with both our research and engineering teams. You and your team will contribute to Heirloom’s R&D program through performing routine analyses, supporting materials characterization studies, and developing our state-of-the-art internal analytical capabilities.
What You Will Do
- Build and manage a team of highly-skilled laboratory technicians to contribute to Heirloom’s R&D objectives.
- Develop standards and best practices, and set work quality expectations for the team.
- Define organizational requirements for the laboratory, oversee procurement of supplies and equipment, implement data management solutions, and maintain documentation.
- Train new technicians on equipment operation and safe laboratory procedures.
- Collaborate with other research team members to identify analytical needs and priorities.
- Work as a part of a team of world-class scientists and engineers to execute on our development plans, with an urgency rooted in the importance of our mission.
Minimum Qualifications
- ≥ 5 years of laboratory experience in an applied field with expertise in materials characterization, surface science, chemistry and/or geochemistry.
- ≥ 2 years of relevant managerial or leadership experience.
- Experience developing, implementing, and maintaining laboratory safety protocols.
- Exceptional verbal and written communication skills.
- A passion for teamwork and collaboration.
- Exceptional organizational and time management skills.
- Excellent critical problem solving skills.
- An advanced degree in either Engineering/Applied Science (Chemical, Process, Materials Engineering, or related field), Science (Materials Science, Geology, Chemistry, Physics, or related field) or equivalent practical experience.
- Self-motivation and a willingness to learn and adapt in a fast-paced environment
You don’t have to have every listed requirement and skill to be a great fit - you may even teach us something about what we should be looking for! If you are passionate about this opportunity and think you have the skills to succeed, please apply!
Please note: while we appreciate all applicants, only those chosen for an interview will be contacted by our team.
