Climate Scientist – Carbon Dioxide Removal
Remote-first | London access available
Paying up to £65k
I’m supporting a fast-growing climate technology business that is helping scale the global carbon removal market.
They are looking for a Climate Scientist to assess the quality, risk and commercial viability of some of the most innovative Carbon Dioxide Removal projects globally.
This is not a purely academic research position.
You will take ownership of technical project assessments, review complex and sometimes incomplete evidence, make clear recommendations and work directly with carbon removal suppliers to improve project quality and transparency.
The role will include:
- Leading the scientific and commercial vetting of CDR projects
- Assessing project quality, risks and long-term carbon-credit delivery
- Developing and refining CDR quality standards and assessment frameworks
- Building relationships with project developers and providing technical feedback
- Staying current with developments in carbon removal science and methodologies
- Communicating complex scientific findings clearly to commercial teams and prospective buyers
