Responsibilities

Deployment: Prepare comprehensive site readiness from machines to power, water, sewer, etc. for all future sites, installation onsite, and management and maintenance of R&D facilities
Strategic design: Bridge any gaps between design engineering and construction to accelerate project timelines and efficiently scope builds. Design for Field Operations as a primary customer to manage the day to day of the carbon removal process
Functional leadership: Build and scale high-performance teams, develop and continuously improve robust processes and systems that drive growth, profitability, and repeatability

About Us

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.

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

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 Role

Reporting to the CEO, the Head of Deployment will be responsible for leading the first full scale carbon removal deployment in North America and subsequent scaling of the Heirloom network. This person will build and lead an organization that designs, deploys and commissions new Heirloom carbon removal sites in a highly scaleable fashion. This senior executive role will also drive shared alignment with a Field Operations team to enable day-to-day operations and comprehensive site management.

This is a unique position that likely will require strong construction skills and experiences gained in other industries (i.e. renewable energy, manufacturing, industrials) to be applied and modified to fit Heirloom’s needs. The Head of Deployment will wear multiple hats and serves as an agile and critical member of the Heirloom leadership team, which is based in Brisbane, CA.

View Company Profile

Naturally occurring minerals - alongside forests, soils, and the ocean - are one of our planet's most vital carbon sinks. Over geological timescales, carbon dioxide in the air and water chemically bind to these minerals and permanently turn to stone. Heirloom's technology enhances this natural process, called carbon mineralization, to help minerals absorb CO2 from the ambient air in days, rather than years. By combining the best of engineering and nature, they can offer the most cost-effective and scalable Direct Air Capture solution in the world.
