About the role
Charm's Louisiana site is the world's first operational bio-oil injection well and the platform from which we will scale carbon removal to future sites. The facility has evolved into a technically sophisticated operation involving multi-feed bio-oil blending, active filtration development, automated PLC state-machine logic, real-time process monitoring, and a growing sample and laboratory program.
What they're looking for
- BS in Chemical, Mechanical, Petroleum, or related engineering discipline — or equivalent demonstrated technical depth through field operations experience
- 7+ years of operating experience in produced-water injection, SWD, EOR, chemical process plants, midstream liquids handling, refining, or comparable fluid-systems operations
- Demonstrated experience leading structured troubleshooting for abnormal operating conditions involving pumps, filters, viscosity, pressure, flow, or injection systems
- Experience working with complex industrial fluid systems where operational decisions directly impact reliability, throughput, and safety
- Ability to communicate technical findings clearly in writing, especially during uncertain or rapidly evolving operating conditions
- Direct supervisory experience leading crews of 20-40 operators across shifts in an industrial environment

About Charm
Our mission is to return the atmosphere to 280 ppm CO₂. We convert excess inedible biomass into carbon-rich bio-oil and inject it into underground storage for permanent carbon removal. At scale, we can use bio-oil to make fossil-free iron.
Our carbon removal efforts began in 2020 with initial purchases from customers like Stripe, Shopify, and Microsoft. Since then, we’ve scaled to thousands of tons of carbon removal , grown to over a hundred employees, and established three locations in San Francisco, Colorado, and Louisiana.
We're expanding our team of ambitious, creative, and hands-on problem solvers. We value psychological safety, collaboration, and continuous learning. We take calculated risks and treat mistakes as opportunities to improve. If you're excited about tackling big challenges, we encourage you to explore our company values .
Come help us reverse climate change. Gigatons or bust!
