Carbon Sequestration Program Manager

Role Overview

We are seeking a passionate and technically skilled professional to lead and support projects in Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) — a permanent carbon removal pathway that accelerates natural mineral weathering to capture CO₂ while improving soil health. The candidate will design, implement, and monitor ERW interventions across agricultural landscapes, ensuring scientific rigor, operational efficiency, and socio-economic co-benefits.

Interested candidates - please send your detailed resume to admin@erdaillumine.com

Key Responsibilities

• Project Development & Implementation
• Design ERW deployment strategies tailored to local soils, crops, and climates.
• Coordinate supply chains for basalt and silicate rock powders, ensuring sustainable sourcing and logistics.
• Work with farmers and cooperatives to integrate ERW into agricultural practices.
• Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV)
• Develop and apply protocols for monitoring CO₂ sequestration, soil chemistry, and crop yield impacts.
• Conduct laboratory analyses of soil and rock samples to quantify mineral weathering rates, bicarbonate formation, and metal mobilization.
• Collaborate with research institutions to validate models and field data.
• Stakeholder Engagement
• Build partnerships with agronomists, geologists, carbon buyers, and technology providers.
• Conduct farmer training and awareness programs on ERW benefits.
• Represent the organization in climate-tech forums and carbon market discussions.
• Innovation & Research
• Pilot new application technologies (e.G., precision spreading, drone-based monitoring).
• Explore synergies with biochar, regenerative agriculture, and other carbon removal pathways.
• Contribute to methodology development for high-integrity carbon credits.
