Vaulted Deep Geoscientist Houston, TX·Full time Apply for Geoscientist Helping Vaulted to identify, target, and permit new well sites to scale our carbon dioxide removal (CDR) potential. Description Geoscientist Location: Houston, TX About Vaulted Vaulted is an emerging leader in permanent carbon removal. As a Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS) solution, Vaulted delivers permanent, high quality carbon removal at scale through the geologic sequestration of carbon-filled organic waste. Vaulted’s approach is designed to be the lowest cost, gigaton scale, permanent carbon removal. We sequester sludgy organic wastes (biosolids, manure, agricultural, food waste, paper sludge, etc.) that today are sent to a landfill, dumped into an ocean/river, land applied, or otherwise left to decompose, releasing Green House Gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere. Vaulted leverages a suite of patented, mature, geologic slurry sequestration technologies which allow us to sequester organic waste with minimal processing. We inject deep under the earth’s surface, where the carbon is permanently trapped under a layer of impermeable rock - the same formations that have kept hydrocarbons underground for millions of years. We have two permitted, operational, facilities allowing us to reach near-term meaningful scale. Our carbon removal approach goes beyond vaulting carbon. It inherently improves local environmental and human health. In doing so, our operations redress historically unjust waste management practices and advance environmental justice. Vaulted is backed by leading carbon removal and climate investors, including Lowercarbon Capital, Earthshot Ventures, and WovenEarth Ventures. About the Role At Vaulted, we have an aggressive development plan for new sites. The pace at which we can ramp up our Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) generation is directly tied to our ability to locate, permit, and develop new injection sites in different geographies. The Geoscientist will play a pivotal role in collaborating with the identification, targeting, and permitting of new well sites both within the US and on the international front. As a Geoscientist at Vaulted, your core responsibilities will include: Permitting & Compliance: Provide geoscience support for the permitting process for new injection sites, including data search, data storage, mapping, data integration, interpretation, and analysis. Site Identification & Evaluation : Support the evaluation and selection of potential sites suitable for organic waste injection. Data analysis and evaluation. Power Point presentations required for communication of results to management, regulators and other stakeholders. Data Analysis, Geological Modeling & Reporting: Collaborate and maintain geological databases to verify organic waste injection potential and safety and ensure its permanent containment. Provide regular reports to senior management for target locations. Collaboration with the Engineering Team: Work closely with the engineering team to identify new locations, design and optimize injection wells, ensuring the safe and efficient sequestration of organic waste. Research & Development: Stay updated with the latest advancements in geology related to carbon sequestration technologies. Safety Protocols: Ensure all activities adhere to the highest safety standards, minimizing risks to both the environment and personnel. This is a unique opportunity to work in a fast-paced and rewarding environment where your contributions will directly lead to mitigating, and eventually reversing, the worst impacts of climate change. What You Will Bring To succeed in this role, and to help the company to succeed in our mission, the Geoscientist will need, most of all, restlessness, drive, hustle, and a deep sense of urgency. They will need to be able to manage multiple threads at the same time, while delivering rapid results from an understaffed team, if for no other reason than the planet simply cannot wait. In addition, we seek a candidate with: BS degree or higher in Geology, Geological Engineering, or a related field. Minimum of 2 years of professional experience in geoscience Strong skills in geoscience software tools, databases and modeling applications. Experience in collaborating with cross-functional teams, including engineers and environmental scientists Commitment to continual learning - staying updated with the latest advancements in the field of geology and carbon sequestration. Preferred experience in injection well operations or permitting J-18808-Ljbffr
