Injection Engineering Manager
Job Description
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.
As we scale toward continuous 24/7 operations, we are hiring an Injections Engineering Manager to serve as the senior on-site engineering leader responsible for technical decision making, operational reliability, and crew leadership. This role is designed for an engineering leader with an operations mindset who thrives in complex fluid systems, can lead structured troubleshooting under uncertainty, and wants deep ownership of a first-of-its-kind industrial process.
The Injections Engineering Manager is the senior technical and administrative owner of the Basco facility. This person leads day-of-shift engineering decisions around production, balancing filtration strategy, viscosity and heating management, recirculation vs. injection, process escalation, and stop-work authority. They own the abnormal-situation response playbook (hypothesize, test, decide, document) and serve as the on-site counterpart to Charm’s Colorado-based controls, automation, and process engineering teams.
In parallel, the role partners strategically with the site’s Operations Supervisor & Process Specialist to drive the site’s operational cadence, scheduling, timecard and payroll oversight, training systems, SOP management, hiring, and workforce development. The Injection Engineering Manager sets the strategy, while the Operations Supervisor leads tactical day-to-day field execution across shifts.
This role reports to the Chief Operations Officer and is ideal for someone who wants to take deep ownership of a pioneering industrial operation for one to two years before transitioning into a broader leadership role at Charm's Colorado headquarters or helping launch future injection sites.
This position may be based full-time on-site in St. Landry, Louisiana, with relocation assistance provided. Alternatively, the role may be performed in a hybrid or remote capacity from within the United States, with no relocation required. Candidates who do not relocate to Louisiana must be able to travel to the St. Landry site approximately 50 to 75% of the time.
