Grow your career. Be the difference. Leading the commercialization of ground-breaking technology that captures CO₂ directly from air is challenging and exhilarating. As a member of the CE team, you’ll be surrounded by smart, adventurous, curious people committed to progressing our Direct Air Capture (DAC) and AIR TO FUELS TM technologies. We’re a diverse team of innovators hailing from around the world with a shared vision, purpose, and commitment to deliver large scale climate change solutions. Our headquarters is in Squamish, B.C., and our presence is expanding in many other markets around the world as we commercialize our technologies
Our culture combines our heritage as a small company with our ambitious goals. We have a passion for what we do and believe our work will have a true and lasting impact on the world. Many of our employees are drawn to CE because of the direct connection between the game-changing work we do and their own personal values.
At our core, Carbon Engineering values integrity, growth, excellence in execution, and fun. This is an environment where people matter, and contributions are noticed. Our employees work hard and are given the opportunity to learn and grow from mistakes. Diversity is embraced, and we value an inclusive work environment where every employee has an equal opportunity to be heard. We work in a dynamic environment and thrive on tackling rewarding and complex problems as a team.
Position Scope
The R&D Co-op role supports the Technology Development team across a broad range of research activities that improve the current Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology and lead to the development of new DAC technologies. The Technology Development team develops solutions that reduce plant costs and enable new markets and broader commercial opportunities. Major responsibilities of the R&D Co-op role range from conducting experimental studies in the lab, to designing equipment prototypes, to operating and analyzing integrated bench-scale plants.
You'll be a key part of an elite, multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers working at the forefront of driving the cost of carbon capture down, which is critical for widespread adoption of DAC. Successful candidates will be driven students with a keen interest in applying their knowledge in chemistry, physics, and engineering to the development of clean technologies.
This is a 4 or 8-month position. Start dates are flexible. The position is based in Squamish, BC. The work schedule follows a M-F, 40hrs/week schedule.
Responsibilities
- Support the Technology Development team with equipment evaluation, design, construction, commissioning, and operation
- Support the Technology Development team with experimental design and execution, data analysis, and communication of results
Technical:
- Understand and apply fundamental engineering principles to solve complex, multi-disciplinary problems
- Perform necessary design calculations when supporting the evaluation of new equipment or instrumentation
- Perform experiments at laboratory, bench-scale, and pilot scale
- Assist with experiment design, data analysis, and reporting of results
Qualifications
Education:
- Enrollment in an undergraduate Co-Op program in Chemistry, Physics, or Chemical Process or Mechanical Engineering
Key Competencies:
- Understanding of mass transfer, thermodynamics, kinetics, fluid mechanics, mechanical design and other chemistry, mechanical engineering, and chemical engineering principles
- Ability to effectively communicate technical information
- Experience performing laboratory experiments and doing hands-on development of equipment is an asset
- Experience operating bench- and pilot-scale equipment is an asset
- Experience evaluating novel equipment and processes is an asset
Joining Carbon Engineering provides you more than a career – it’s a calling for those who are ready to make a difference in climate action. We provide hope.
