Schichtleiter Pyrolyseanlage (m/w/d)

Job Description

Our mission is to return the atmosphere to 280 ppm CO₂. We convert excess inedible biomass into carbon-rich bio-oil and inject it into underground storage for permanent carbon removal. At scale, we can use bio-oil to make fossil-free iron.

Our carbon removal efforts began in 2020 with initial purchases from customers like Stripe, Shopify, and Microsoft. Since then, we've scaled to thousands of tons of carbon removal, grown to over a hundred employees, and established three locations in San Francisco, Colorado, and Louisiana.

We're expanding our team of ambitious, creative, and hands-on problem solvers. We value psychological safety, collaboration, and continuous learning. We take calculated risks and treat mistakes as opportunities to improve. If you're excited about tackling big challenges, we encourage you to explore our company values.

Come help us reverse climate change. Gigatons or bust!

About the Role

If you lead with grit, think two steps ahead, and feel at home in the field-this shift is yours to run! Charm Industrial is looking for a steady-handed, people-smart Pyrolyzer Shift Supervisor (Field Operations Shift Supervisor) to lead our field teams in turning science into serious climate action. You will enjoy work life balance with a 4-days on / 4-days off schedule with 12-hour shifts-more time to rest, explore, or just be weird and wonderful.

This role will report the Operations Manager.

You role in Action

Lead the Crew:

Drive shift meetings, coach team members, and keep everyone aligned on expectations. Create growth opportunities for Operators and Shift Leads by mentoring on the floor.

Own the Plan:

Execute the daily production schedule and make adjustments as needed. Coordinate across shifts to keep the flow moving smoothly and avoid bottlenecks.

Keep It Safe & Sharp:

Lead safety audits, enforce standards, and model safe practices in every task. Spot trends in training gaps, maintenance needs, or near-misses and take action fast.

Balance the Details:

Manage scheduling, timecards, and training compliance for your crew. Ensure clear communication during shift handovers and log everything like a pro.

How you Stand Out

Experience & Background:

• 3-5 years in operations, production, or field-based work-at least 2 in a leadership or team lead role.
• Familiar with manufacturing, equipment-heavy environments, or fast-paced field ops.
• Prior experience in oil & gas, construction, manufacturing, or industrial processing preferred.
• Comfortable managing people, schedules, and shifting priorities.

Skills & Traits:

• You coach in the moment, delegate with intention, and know when to roll up your sleeves.
• You take pride in clean handovers, detailed logs, and holding the team to high standards.
• You can flex between proactive strategy and real-time problem solving without breaking stride.
• You understand the value of structure-SOPs, safety protocols, checklists-and follow them with purpose.

At Charm, we may use AI-enabled tools to support certain aspects of the hiring process, including organizing candidate information and highlighting experience that may be relevant to a particular role. In a world where AI-assisted resumes, synthetic content, and deepfakes are increasingly common, these tools help our team navigate the process thoughtfully and efficiently. Every application and resume is reviewed by a member of our hiring team, and hiring decisions are made by people, not algorithms. Our recruiting process is designed to ensure candidates are evaluated fairly, consistently, and in alignment with our equal employment opportunity commitments. AI tools support our team's work, but they do not replace human judgment or determine hiring outcomes.
