Health And Safety à Canada

Deep Sky is at the forefront of addressing one of the most pressing challenges of our time: climate change. We are dedicated to developing and implementing Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies that effectively remove excess carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. We are actively working on a series of commercial scale facilities across Canada - come build with us!

As a Project Engineer at Deep Sky, you will contribute to the planning, design, and execution of our Direct Air Capture (DAC) projects, supporting efforts from early design through commissioning and startup.
