Description
Job Description
Job DescriptionTradewaterDirector of Carbon Project Verification and LogisticsLocation Flexible
About Tradewater
Tradewater is a B Corp and mission-based project development company that is in business to prevent catastrophic climate change. Our mission is to improve the environment and create economic opportunity through the collection, control, and destruction of potent, non-CO2 greenhouse gases. Tradewater believes that a company committed to cleaning up the environment can be just as successful – if not more so – than a company that achieves its goals without regard to environmental impact.
Non-CO2 gases account for nearly half of all global warming from human activity since 1970. Our work, referred to as "emergency brake solutions" by Project Drawdown, is essential to prevent catastrophic climate change. Our projects include the destruction of refrigerants and halon fire suppressants that are potent greenhouse gases and deplete the ozone layer. We also find, measure, and plug orphaned oil and gas wells that have no solvent operator and are leaking methane into the atmosphere. To date, we have permanently prevented over 6.9 million tons of CO2e from reaching the atmosphere and we are on a path to surpass 27 million tons of CO2e by the end of 2027.
The Opportunity
As we continue on our growth trajectory and look to the future, Tradewater is seeking a Director of Verification and Logistics. The position links key components of Tradewater's work – a mastery of carbon offset protocols, management of the movement and destruction of greenhouse gases globally, and project documentation and quality control to ensure that all of Tradewater's work meets the requirements of carbon offset protocols in a manner that can be successfully verified by third-parties. The position reports directly to the Chief Operating Officer.
Applications for this position will be accepted through Friday, April 5, 2024.
Key responsibilities include:
Here is a guide for what to expect throughout the hiring process.
