Brisbane CA United States Heirloom Carbon Full time
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

As temperatures continue to rise, individuals from marginalized communities will face the harshest impacts of climate change. We believe wholeheartedly that building a diverse company is critical to Heirloom’s success. To accomplish this, we’ve put recruiting, hiring and retaining individuals from underrepresented groups at the top of our priority list.

We encourage you to apply if you identify as Black, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, American Indian or Alaskan Native, Hispanic or Latino, LGBTQ+ – or with any other underrepresented group – even if you don’t tick all the boxes in the description below.

About the Role

Heirloom is seeking an experienced Head of Deployment Strategy to lead the rapid expansion of our Direct Air Capture (DAC) capacity, both in the U.S. and internationally. This role will be key in driving the development of modular, scalable megaton plants by blending cutting-edge technological innovation with flawless project execution. You’ll work closely with the Plant Design and Supply Chain teams to ensure that the latest advancements are seamlessly incorporated into each project, balancing cost and schedule optimization without sacrificing quality, safety, or operability.

In this position, you'll be responsible for the overall project design and delivery process, ensuring alignment with Heirloom’s carbon removal goals and cost-down strategies. You will leverage your deep understanding of construction as a manufacturing process, optimizing our "Project as a Production System" approach. By integrating modern construction methods, digital technologies like virtual commissioning, and advanced tools such as integrated BIM management, you’ll ensure that our facilities remain future-proof and adaptable. Additionally, your work will focus on managing costs, schedules, and cash flows, enabling continuous improvement in project delivery and reducing common capital project overruns.

What You’ll Bring

The ideal candidate will have more than 10 years of experience in both manufacturing and construction, including at least 5 years managing mid- to large-scale projects in the commercial and industrial sectors. You will bring expertise in modular, scalable plant design and construction, with a proven track record of driving cost reduction and schedule compression while maintaining high standards for quality, safety, and environmental sustainability.

Your knowledge of emerging construction methods and digital technologies, including virtual commissioning, testing, and integrated BIM management, is essential to future-proofing our facilities. You’ll have strong experience in managing construction as a manufacturing process, optimizing workflows for efficiency and continuous improvement. As a leader, you’ll demonstrate the ability to prioritize and execute tasks to achieve both corporate and project goals, while effectively communicating project status and risks to all stakeholders. Additionally, you’ll have expertise in managing project costs, schedules, and cash flow, with a system of controls in place to ensure project success. Above all, you possess the leadership skills and strategic mindset necessary to guide Heirloom’s carbon capture projects to completion and help us meet our audacious climate goals.

Our Principles

Radical Honesty means we are open, transparent, and inclusive in everything we do. We aren't scared to challenge each other, but bring clear motives and our best intentions when we do.

Persistent Optimism means we carry an infinite amount of optimistic energy with us on our journey, constantly chipping away at what may seem insurmountable.

Maximize our learning rate means we're always in discovery mode. Compounding knowledge is our key to victory - we continuously hone our crafts, seek the fastest paths to new learning, and are quick to absorb new knowledge.
