Job Description

Project Canary is a mission-driven B-Corp that helps reduce emissions in the energy, waste, and agriculture industries through independent assessment of carbon and environmental footprints. With offices in Denver and Austin, Project Canary achieves this goal by ingesting data from various sources, including its own proprietary environmental sensors, to calculate carbon emissions from different facilities in real-time. The resulting independent, trusted data can inform the procurement of offsets in real-time using microtransactions, formulate the data-driven ESG strategy that investors now demand, improve operations by identifying problem areas in minutes, and bolster customer engagement through radical supply chain transparency.

Initially, Project Canary is focused on the energy industry. With thousands of energy assets analyzed and hundreds of environmental and air quality sensors currently deployed, Project Canary is positioned better than anyone to provide empirical ESG data.

Project Canary’s success is attributed to the motivation, skill, and teamwork of its employees. The team understands the importance of maintaining a culture where relationships are valued, feedback is crucial, and trust in each other and our products/services is paramount. If you enjoy a fast-paced environment, mission-driven work, and being a valued member of a motivated diverse team, we want to hear from you.

You’ll work on the regulatory side of Project Canary to analyze operational data, identify trends in environmental data, and summarize your findings through written reports and verbal presentations.

  • Analyze emission sources across several hundred sites
  • Correlate customer emission source logs to internal time series data to review effectiveness of continuous emission monitoring
  • Explain statistical methodology through written reports and presentations to stakeholders including customers, state, and federal regulators
  • Develop modelling of emissions based on controlled, simulated leak events to demonstrate effectiveness of technology
  • Improve existing alerting methodology to reduce false positives and increase actionable data

Qualifications:

  • Degree in environmental science, earth sciences, applied math, or equivalent
  • Data analysis in Python, R, or equivalent
  • Familiarity and ability to run code in a jupyter notebook
  • Ability to analyze both quantitative and qualitative data
