About Vaulted

Vaulted Deep is a cutting-edge technology company that injects waste deep underground to support sustainability goals while providing waste management solutions to support clean land, air and water. Vaulted is based in Houston, San Francisco, and Kansas.

With a growing team of 50 people across the country, Vaulted signed a $58.3 million offtake agreement with Frontier, and completed a $32 million Series A round in 2024. Vaulted's proprietary technology builds on decades of expertise to deliver safe, durable carbon and waste management solutions, now, at scale.

About the Role

At Vaulted, we have an aggressive development plan for new sites. The pace at which we can ramp up our Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) generation is directly tied to our ability to locate, permit, and develop new injection sites in different geographies.

  • Collaboration with the Engineering Team : Work closely with the engineering team to identify new locations, design and optimize injection wells, ensuring the safe and efficient sequestration of organic waste.
  • Stakeholder Engagement : Engage with regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders to address concerns and provide information about Vaulted's geologic sequestration activities.
  • Safety Protocols : Ensure all activities adhere to the highest safety standards, minimizing risks to both the environment and personnel.
  • Team Leadership : Mentor and guide junior geologists and other team members, fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation.
  • Project Management : Lead and oversee multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring they remain on schedule and within budget.
  • This is a unique opportunity to work in a fast-paced and rewarding environment where your contributions will directly lead to mitigating, and eventually reversing, the worst impacts of climate change.
