<h1>Background</h1>The shipping industry is notoriously difficult to decarbonize, accounting for ~3% of global CO2 emissions. If it were a country, it would be the 6th largest emitter in the world (ranking just above Germany).Recent global regulations from the International Maritime Organization require ships to reduce their CO2 emissions or pay a carbon tax on every ton emitted, but there are currently no clean solutions available for them to do so. Alternative power sources like hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, and onboard batteries are still 10-20 years away from maturity for large ships and energy efficiency solutions can only reduce 5-10% of CO2 emissions.<h1>About Seabound</h1>Seabound captures CO2 emissions from ships.We are building a retrofittable device that traps the CO2 from a ship’s exhaust gas. It has the potential to be one of the simplest, safest, and most affordable solutions for zero-emissions shipping.To date, we have proven the concept on land and tested our capture device on a 3200 TEU container ship. We have secured 6 letters of intent from major shipowners to purchase our systems, raised ~$6.5M USD from top investors including Lowercarbon Capital and Y Combinator, and won a competitive grant from the UK government in the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition. We are now recruiting a Sorbent Manufacturing Technician to support this new category of maritime climate tech.<h1>Roles and responsibilities</h1>We are looking for a talented technician to run our sorbent manufacturing line at our R&amp;D facility in North London. You will be responsible for producing the calcium-based material we use to capture the CO2 onboard ships. The work you do will directly prevent greenhouse gas emissions from entering the atmosphere and be instrumental in bringing the shipping industry to net zero.What You’ll Do:<ul><li>Own the large scale production line of calcium-based sorbent for Seabound's carbon capture devices</li><li>Operate equipment and machinery while maintaining a clean, organized and safe work environment</li><li>Complete specialized projects to help us build and improve our sorbent manufacturing capabilities</li><li>Collaborate closely with engineers on the team to improve designs; contribute to growing and building a strong engineering culture and team</li><li>Anything else that needs to be done in an early-stage startup</li></ul><h1>Skills and requirements</h1>We are looking for:<ul><li>Degree from a trades, vocational, technical school or university</li><li>2+ years experience in fabrication/manufacturing, either professionally or through personal projects</li><li>Ability to maintain quality workmanship and high accuracy with little to no direct oversight</li><li>Physical ability to stand, climb up and down ladders, bend, squat, grasp, sit, pull, push stoop, stretch and lift up to 25 kgs unassisted</li><li>Someone who is resourceful, ambitious, excited to tackle hard problems that no one has solved before, and holds themselves and others to a high standard</li><li>Someone who is passionate about tackling the climate crisis</li></ul><ul><li>(Bonus but not required) production line experience</li></ul>Seabound is an equal opportunity employer. We value diversity and strive to create an environment that is inclusive to all employees.

<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="sh-color-grey sh-color" href="https://www.seabound.co/">Seabound</a>&nbsp;is an award-winning startup decarbonizing shipping by capturing CO₂ emissions directly onboard ships. Its modular carbon capture system traps both sulphur and&nbsp;CO₂&nbsp;from a ship’s engine exhaust — helping shipowners comply with brand new regulations, avoid hefty penalties, and reduce fuel costs. Founded in late 2021, Seabound recently completed the world’s first port-based CO₂ capture demonstration at the Port of Long Beach with STAX Engineering and Wallenius&nbsp;Wilhelmsen, achieving a ~95% efficiency CO₂ capture rate. Previously, the company ran a world-first pilot with Lomar Shipping and Hapag-Lloyd, capturing CO₂ at ~80% efficiency on a&nbsp;container ship in the Middle East. To date, Seabound has raised $6.8M from top-tier investors including Lowercarbon Capital, Y Combinator, Eastern Pacific Shipping, Elemental Impact, and Collaborative Fund; and won £2.2M in UK government grants through the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition.
