Lead the Project Implementations function, creating operational efficiencies and managing teams for geothermal construction projects while ensuring safety, regulatory compliance, and client satisfaction.
Company
The earth beneath our feet holds extraordinary, untapped capacity to accelerate the clean energy transition, with limitless geo-energy available under every real estate asset. Bedrock Energy is on a mission to transform the heating and cooling of buildings, using carbon-free, hyper-efficient, and ultra-safe geothermal energy to radically reduce costs for people and the environment. Incorporated in 2022, Bedrock has raised over $25M in capital and is gathering exceptional talent to scale up geothermal heating/cooling for real estate and infrastructure developers in any city in the world. We seek creative, collaborative, proactive team members who inspire us with their high standards of excellence, integrity, and commitment to our shared mission.
Role
As the architect of the Project Implementations function, you will establish scalable processes, organizational systems, and partnerships that enable Bedrock to deliver professional, commercial-scale geothermal construction projects while deploying a variety of Bedrock technology tools. Over the last two years, Bedrock has demonstrated the proof-of-concepts for its first-of-its-kind subsurface technologies for the geothermal heating & cooling industry. As we progress past our first several drilling projects, the company is now focused on systematizing our Field Implementations function to grow towards larger-scale projects with ever-increasing operational efficiency. This role will be a combination of building up a robust Field Operations org made up of geothermal drillers, and serving as a Project Executive overseeing project success, with a rigorous feedback loop between the field organization and project execution.
With your sharp mind for operational efficiency—reliable field logistics, site safety, replicability, and quality outcomes—you will streamline and manage a world-class Project Implementation organization that operates impeccably in everyday urban environments. You will own the client relationship in projects work cross-functionally to ensure a seamless customer experience, and with equipment vendors to provide the Field team with everything they need to excel. The ultimate operational goal is to replicate this initial, sharply-honed Field Operations unit, many times over.
This role will also require strategic analysis, communication, and planning. You should expect to define new KPIs, resourcing hypotheses, investment priorities, and risk matrices from scratch. You will also work with Bedrock’s technologists to test and refine technologies that will fundamentally transform the economics, reliability, and scalability of constructing geothermal heating & cooling systems. Under your leadership, Bedrock will establish a strong reputation for quality and efficiency, and you will help set the early foundation of our entire company’s culture and standards of excellence.
