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 Field Operations function, you own the engine that enables Bedrock to deliver professional, commercial-scale low-enthalpy 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 direct-use geothermal heating & cooling industry. As we progress past our first several drilling projects, the company is now focused on systematizing our Field Operations function to grow towards larger-scale projects with ever-increasing operational efficiency and a growing fleet. You will own end-to-end project delivery, providing leadership across Operations Engineering, Field Operations, Reliability Engineering, and Deployment Operations teams. You will serve as the executive accountable for project success and financial outcomes, while building the repeatable playbooks and teams to make success scalable across a rapidly expanding fleet. You will also collaborate closely with the technology development team led by the Head of Automation, closing the feedback loop to ensure R&D initiatives deliver value in the field. The ultimate operational goal is to build a sharply-honed delivery unit and replicate it many times over. This role will also require strategic analysis, communication, and planning. You should expect to define and own specific KPIs (safety incident rate, cost-per-borehole, schedule adherence, uptime), team architectures, investment priorities, and risk matrices from scratch, and to help set the early foundation of the company’s culture and standards of excellence.
