Director of Project Execution

Remora is hiring a Program Manager. This individual must be a self-reliant team player who thrives on coordinating complex, multi-stakeholder projects and seeing them through from permitting to deployment. This person will be responsible for guiding projects from concept through site readiness, ensuring seamless integration of Remora’s carbon capture systems at customer sites. The Program Manager will work onsite at our Wixom, MI (metro Detroit) facility, with significant travel to customer locations across the U.S. You’ll collaborate with customers, engineers, vendors, contractors, and regulatory agencies to ensure every site is safe, functional, and ready to deliver.

We’re building carbon capture for trains and trucks. We generate revenue for railroads and trucking companies by extracting, purifying, and selling CO2 from their exhaust. Our technology can capture up to 90% of the CO2 in the vehicle's exhaust, while also reducing soot, particulate matter, and NOx.

We’ve partnered with some of the largest railroads and trucking companies, including Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, Ryder, and Werner. We’ve now raised $117 million from prominent investors, including Lower carbon Capital, Valor Equity Partners, Union Square Ventures, First Round Capital, and Y Combinator.
