Salary Range: 140935 to 176902 (Currency: USD) (Pay period: per-year-salary)
Charm is seeking a Staff Industrial Project Engineer with a mechanical or civil engineering background to lead the development and integration of our production facilities. You'll help turn process and equipment concepts into complete industrial facilities that are safe, maintainable, constructible, and scalable.
You'll serve as a technical owner for major facility projects, working across Process, Mechanical, Civil/Structural, Electrical, Controls, Facilities, Construction, Operations, Procurement, equipment vendors, and external engineering partners. Your work will span equipment layout, site infrastructure, utilities, constructability, contractor coordination, permitting, and field execution.
We're looking for an experienced engineer who has helped build or significantly modify industrial facilities and enjoys solving problems that cross traditional engineering disciplines. You don't need to be an expert in every discipline; we're looking for someone who knows how industrial facilities come together, can identify the right questions and tradeoffs, and can drive engineering decisions from concept through construction and commissioning.
Lead the engineering and integration of industrial facility projects from early concepts through construction and commissioning.
Develop facility and equipment layouts considering process flow, utilities, maintenance access, safety, constructability, and future expansion.
Coordinate across engineering, construction, and operations teams to resolve technical interfaces and drive design decisions.
Manage technical scopes and engineering deliverables from consultants, EPC partners, contractors, and equipment vendors.
Review drawings, specifications, and technical documentation for quality, constructability, operability, and project requirements.
Make practical engineering tradeoffs across safety, performance, cost, schedule, reliability, and maintainability.
Resolve field engineering issues during construction and commissioning, while capturing standards and lessons learned to improve future Charm facilities.
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Civil Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
8+ years of engineering experience supporting industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, energy projects, or other complex physical infrastructure.
Experience delivering industrial projects through design, construction, and/or commissioning.
Strong practical understanding of how industrial equipment, structures, utilities, and operations integrate within a facility.
Experience coordinating across engineering disciplines and resolving technical interfaces.
Demonstrated engineering judgment balancing safety, performance, cost, schedule, constructability, and maintainability.
Experience working with engineering consultants, contractors, EPC firms, or equipment vendors.
Strong communication skills with the ability to lead technical work across teams.
Professional Engineer (PE) license, Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification, or demonstrated path toward professional licensure; ability to obtain Colorado PE licensure is a plus.
Experience with greenfield industrial facilities, major expansions, or industrial site development.
Experience with biomass, bulk solids, chemical processing, mining, oil & gas, power generation, renewable energy, manufacturing, or similar industrial environments.
Familiarity with applicable industrial codes and standards such as OSHA, IBC, NFPA, ASCE, ACI, or AISC.
Hands-on field experience supporting construction, commissioning, startup, permitting, or plant operations.
Experience with industrial CAD, 3D modeling, or design-review tools.
Biomass to bio-oil for storage underground
Charm Industrial captures carbon by turning agricultural residues into bio-oil through pyrolysis and then pumps the bio-oil deep underground where it solidifies, permanently storing CO2. This process uses agricultural waste as feedstock and creates a self-sustaining chemical reaction to convert biomass into a carbon-rich liquid, which is injected underground for long-term storage, reducing risks like wildfires, soil erosion, and land-use change. The company charges agricultural clients for converting their residues into bio-oil and storing it, offering end-to-end carbon capture and storage services. Unlike typical CCS firms that rely on industrial CO2 streams or dedicated geological projects, Charm Industrial focuses on readily available farm waste and provides a complete service from feedstock collection to underground sequestration. Its goal is to help customers cut their carbon footprints and contribute to lowering atmospheric CO2 levels over time.
