Civil Engineer (f/m/d)

Come and do your life’s work – Why we do what we do

Phlair unleashes CO2’s potential through breakthrough innovation. We rapidly deploy Direct Air Capture technology, facilitating the removal and reuse of CO2 at scale.

For decades, fossil fuels served as the backbone and feedstock of our economy – with the downside of polluting our atmosphere. We invert this equation by developing a cost-efficient and scalable electrochemical Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology . We have cracked the nut here by developing a breakthrough hydrolizer for acid/base regeneration, allowing us to capture CO2 from ambient air for either permanent storage or as a precursor for CO2-negative chemicals. For this, we collaborate with leading customers like Frontier Climate, Stripe, Shopify, and Klarna.

We are looking for highly ambitious and motivated individuals who are ready to work their ** off to have a lasting impact on the planet. Your ideas will set the foundation and shape the future of our company.

At Phlair we’re committed to creating a high-performing and inclusive environment where every voice is heard and valued: You can find more on our culture here.

Join our team of world-class scientists, engineers, and passionate entrepreneurs. All qualified applicants are given fair consideration and women are strongly encouraged to apply – Come as you are!

What you’ll need

Hard skills that are necessary

• You have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Civil Engineering
• You have at least 5 years of experience in civil engineering, with significant exposure to large industrial or infrastructure projects
• You bring proficiency in civil engineering design software (e.g., AutoCAD Civil 3D, AutoCAD Revit, or similar).
• Strong understanding of construction materials, techniques, and quality control methods
• Knowledge of stormwater management, geotechnical considerations, and foundation design

Soft skills that are necessary

• You spike at building rapport with the construction team, are highly empathetic with them and simultaneously push them to their boundaries so they deliver quality on time and budget
• You are highly organized, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple priorities simultaneously
• You excel at navigating regulatory and permitting challenges with efficiency and professionalism

What we offer you

• Attractive compensation package, including stock options in the company

We are the first EU and German DAC company to be selected by Frontier Climate. Frontier is a buyers‘ club for high-quality carbon removal credits, i.e., a certificate validating the permanent (for >1,000 years!) and additional (to natural processes) removal of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, thereby curbing global warming.

Benefit and grow from our network: You will have access to an extensive group of leaders. We can provide 1-to-1 mentoring with investors, engineering advisors, or our business angels from startups, consulting, and industry.

Great to have, but optional

• You enjoy construction sites and are a highly reliable person

Your mission at Phlair

Together with our project team, you will work on the execution of Project Dawn, our flagship initiative to build large-scale Direct Air Capture (DAC) facilities. If you obsess about building strong relationships with construction teams, influencing them to achieve exceptional quality, and ensuring projects stay on schedule and within budget, you’re great for this role, and you’ll enjoy the journey ahead!

• Lead the design and specification of civil works, including foundations, access roads, stormwater management, and auxiliary structures
• Develop and maintain project schedules, budgets, and resource plans for civil works
• Conduct regular site inspections to ensure adherence to design specifications and quality standards, and prevent construction mistakes by closely monitoring processes and preemptively addressing potential challenges.
• Monitor progress and implement corrective actions to address delays or cost overruns
• Provide regular updates and reports to project leadership on civil engineering progress

Your targets are an important roadmap, but nothing is set in stone in the startup world.
