Flare gas-to-power Bitcoin mining infrastructure
We are seeking a Civil Engineer to contribute to the full lifecycle of our site development projects, from initial feasibility through construction execution. You will support site assessments, design development, and compliance activities under mentorship from senior engineers. The ideal candidate has hands-on CAD skills and is comfortable working both at the desk and on construction sites.
This role is ideally based in our San Francisco, Long Beach, or Houston offices, with full-time onsite expectations outside of bi-weekly WFH Fridays.
That said, we will make exceptions for truly exceptional talent if you live outside one of our hubs. If you're the right person for this role, we'll have a conversation about what works.
Assist in developing site layouts, including grading plans, drainage systems, utility routing, and foundation design under senior engineer guidance.
Conduct site assessments, gather geotechnical data, and contribute to environmental impact studies to support project viability determinations.
Research and apply local zoning laws and building codes; support the permitting process with municipal and state agencies.
Contribute to project schedules and budgets; assist with vendor coordination under senior oversight.
Support structural calculations for specialized equipment housing (e.g., pads for cooling units, heavy electrical infrastructure).
Perform site inspections to verify construction alignment with engineering specifications and safety standards; document findings.
Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution.
2–4 years of experience in land development, industrial construction, or data center infrastructure.
Proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D, Revit, or similar BIM software.
Working knowledge of hydrology, soil mechanics, and reinforced concrete design.
PE license preferred but not required.
Familiarity with critical infrastructure requirements (Power, Cooling, and Fiber connectivity).
Strong communication skills for coordinating with internal teams and stakeholders.
Flare gas-to-power Bitcoin mining infrastructure
Giga Energy converts flare gas from oil and gas wells into electricity to power modular data centers used for Bitcoin mining. The company designs, builds, and operates on-site power generation equipment and modular data centers directly at well sites, turning wasted natural gas into usable energy. Revenue comes from selling the power infrastructure and data centers, plus a share of the Bitcoin mined fuelled by that power. Competitively, Giga Energy focuses specifically on flare-gas monetization for oil and gas operators, combining energy infrastructure with crypto mining to create an on-site, end-to-end solution rather than just selling equipment or services. The goal is to reduce gas flaring, monetize previously wasted gas, and provide a practical revenue stream by mining Bitcoin at the source.
