California Bioenergy LLC (Cal Bio), founded in 2006, is one of the nation's leading developers, owners, and operators of dairy digester projects. Working closely with our family dairy partners and agencies, including CARB, CDFA, CPUC, CEC, and the EPA, alongside affiliates Midwest Bioenergy, Northwest Bioenergy, and Southwest Bioenergy, we capture methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and beneficially use it to generate renewable natural gas (RNG) and electricity.

Our projects reduce more than 1 million metric tons of CO₂e emissions per year, with a pathway to doubling these reductions over the next three years. A major use of Cal Bio RNG is as vehicle fuel; when truck fleets transition from diesel to natural gas, pollution emissions can drop by approximately 90%, delivering immediate air-quality benefits in communities such as California's San Joaquin Valley and the Los Angeles Basin.

These projects also help protect local air and water quality, create jobs, and provide new revenue and other meaningful benefits for our dairy partners.

The Staff Project Engineer supports the development, design, construction, commissioning, and operation of renewable natural gas (RNG), biogas, utility, and related infrastructure projects. Reporting to the Principal Project Engineer, this position serves as a key technical resource responsible for coordinating engineering activities, managing project deliverables, supporting construction execution, and resolving complex technical challenges.

The Staff Project Engineer works closely with internal stakeholders, engineering consultants, contractors, equipment vendors, utility providers, and regulatory agencies to ensure projects are delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and in compliance with applicable engineering and environmental standards.
