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 knowhow and strategy necessary to make low cost high quality carbon removal a reality. If were 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 Heirlooms success. To accomplish this weve 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 dont tick all the boxes in the description below.

The Role

We are looking for an Electrical Building Infrastructure Engineer to shape the future deployments of Heirlooms carbon technology. You will be integral to removing millions of tons of CO2 by developing efficient electrical solutions based on your experience and strong fundamental analysis. We are designing structures that look like buildings from the outside but are totally novel efficient airflow machines working with the elements to draw down the CO2 in the atmosphere. The electrical systems are the backbone to the equipment and technology as we plan to run these plants off of 100 renewable electrical power. This role is critical for Heirloom to efficiently design systems that balance lead times cost of system and risk to operations as our demands fluctuate.

We are looking for a highly motivated lead electrical design engineer who will use industry experience to design electrical systems that can be scalably integrated within our plant designs and deployments. You will rely on first principle thinking to develop design concepts on the building infrastructure team which is the integration point between technology and project deployment teams.

What you will do

• Develop and design electrical systems

• Derive loads from first principles and provide detailed sizing of systems for costing procurement and construction detailing.

• Manage electrical inputs into Equipment Utility Matrix and perform load calculations for the development of single lines panel designs routing plans equipment selection etc.

• Challenge the existing designs and provide analytical tradeoff studies for different concepts

• Close collaboration with the entire building infrastructure design team for holistic design approach and documentation

• Develop and improve project workflows and standards to ensure each design is consistently excellent

• Responsible for creating and maintaining technical design documentation including electrical requirements documentation via Owner Project Requirements (OPR) Basis of Design (BoD) Specifications and Design Philosophy.

• Collaborate closely with Supply Chain Commercialization and Equipment Design teams

• Collaborate closely with internal Project team and external EPC for successful handoff of designs for construction documentation phases.

What you will bring

• Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering or an equivalent discipline.

• Licensed Professional Engineer

• 15 years of work experience in electrical design ideally within Industrial Process/Manufacturing/Factory or Tech industry

• Strong desire to be a technical leader of electrical designs and standards for a growing team.

• Expert familiarity with IBC NEC ANSI NFPA 70

• Working knowledge of designing the following: high voltage medium voltage switchgears transformers panels electrical site distribution with understanding of critical equipment infrastructure (including UPS diesel generators electrical switchgear power distribution units variable frequency drives and automatic/static transfer switches)

• Ability to create or edit construction specifications and drawings covering electrical and peer review of controls and IT/telecommunication sections.

• Willingness to design and detail systems at least through a Design Development / FEL3 project phase.

• Ability to prioritize and manage competing priorities through organized and data driven reasoning. Looking for a candidate who can own decision making within the electrical discipline and present clear reasoning for design decisions.

• Proficient in the use of Revit and AutoCAD.

• Experience sourcing and specifying electrical equipment and executing the RFP process.

You dont need to have every listed requirement and skill to be a great fit you may even teach us something about what we should be looking for! If you are passionate about this opportunity and think you have the skills to succeed please apply!
