ABOUT HEIMDAL: Heimdal builds machines that permanently capture and store atmospheric CO2. By working with federal government and local oil & gas production, Heimdal's technology profitably captures CO2. In 2022, Heimdal built the world's cheapest carbon removal plant in Hawaii and will launch Project Bantam, the largest DAC facility in America, in 2024. 

Position Overview: Heimdal has built the largest Direct Air Capture facility in America. This is the beginning of a new industry in America that will grow to rival the oil & gas industry in scale. Keeping operations and production of the largest facility in America at full production is an opportunity to be at the forefront of this new industry bringing jobs and opportunity to the State of Oklahoma and beyond. This facility, while the largest of its kind, is still small for an industrial operation. Over time this facility will become the testbed for exploring new and enhanced techniques for optimizing our carbon capture process.  

As Field Service Engineer, you will be responsible for troubleshooting a multitude of issues that may arise from a new, “one-of-a-kind" plant, with sometimes no help from 3rd parties. Candidate must grow to “own” this process and learn all the complexities to a level as to maximize operational time and production as well as prevent, assess, and fix issues that will arise. For non-local candidates, travel of 50-75% to facility near Shidler, OK expected, with less travel as issues become less common, upon which role will migrate to becoming an essential technical lead within the larger organization and future, vastly larger-scale plants.
