Charm Industrial is building toward ATFBR, and we need someone to own how Pyro Operations learns, qualifies, and improves. The Process Specialist is the person who keeps our processes documented, our operators trained, and our operational knowledge current - so that when engineering hands off a new process, operations can absorb it and run.
This is not a desk job. You will spend time on the floor with operators, writing and maintaining SOPs that reflect what actually happens, and closing the loop between how a process was designed and how it runs day-to-day.
This role reports to the Operations Manager
Own the operator training and qualification pathway for Pyro Operations - run the program, track progress, and maintain qualification records
Maintain SOPs and training materials; update documentation as processes evolve and before they fall out of sync with practice
Monitor process performance; identify deviations early and drive corrective action before they become incidents
Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities on the pyrolysis platform
Participate in Train-the-Trainer with Manufacturing Engineering during new process introductions; formally accept process ownership at handoff
Serve as the first call for operators with process questions during production
3-5 years of hands-on experience in an industrial processing environment - oil & gas, heavy manufacturing, chemicals, or similar
Experience writing or maintaining SOPs
Comfortable working with data - you can read a performance trend, identify what's off, and explain it to an operator and an engineer in the same conversation
Strong written and verbal communication; you write clearly and you follow through
Prior experience training or qualifying operators is a plus
Familiarity with pyrolysis, gasification, or thermal processing

Charm Industrial is working to return the atmosphere to 280 ppm CO₂. We design, build and operate a fleet of mobile fast pyrolyzers that convert ag and forest biomass residues into Charm Bio-oil and Charm Biochar for use in permanent carbon removal. At scale, Charm Bio-oil can be used to reduce iron ore into metallic iron to help decarbonize industrial emissions from steelmaking.
In 2020, our Chief Scientist and co-founder had a breakthrough to sequester bio-oil that kickstarted the company. Within 10 months we completed our first carbon removal injection and we have completed more than 7,200 tons of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent removal for customers like Stripe, Shopify, JP Morgan and Microsoft. Charm leads the industry with a transparent ledger and helped build a verification model that reduces the risk of over-crediting.
Charm isn’t just removing carbon, we’re also improving communities and ecosystems we operate in today. Charm partners with communities to create new jobs, reduce wildfire risk, improve air quality, and safely close abandoned oil wells.
