How to Apply for Infrastructure Project Manager

at Capture6

🏢 About Capture6

Capture6 is a climate tech pioneer developing direct air capture and water treatment solutions for permanent carbon removal. Unlike many carbon removal companies, they focus on scalable, verifiable solutions that integrate with existing infrastructure, making them uniquely positioned for rapid deployment. Working here means contributing directly to combatting climate change through innovative engineering.

About This Role

This Infrastructure Project Manager will lead complex engineering projects from design through construction to operation, specifically for carbon capture and water treatment facilities. The role is impactful because successful project delivery directly scales Capture6's carbon removal capacity, translating their technology into real-world climate solutions.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves coordinating with engineering teams on design reviews, meeting with construction contractors about timeline updates, analyzing project risks for upcoming construction phases, and preparing stakeholder communications about project progress. You might spend mornings reviewing updated P&IDs and afternoons facilitating cross-functional meetings to align design, construction, and operational requirements.

🎯 Who Capture6 Is Looking For

  • Has 5-7 years of PM experience specifically with engineering design and construction projects (not just software or IT projects)
  • Possesses technical knowledge in water treatment processes, carbon capture technologies, or civil/mechanical construction
  • Can demonstrate experience reviewing engineering drawings like P&IDs, process flow diagrams, and single-line drawings
  • Has led cross-functional teams including both internal staff and external contractors/vendors

📝 Tips for Applying to Capture6

1

Quantify your experience with specific metrics: 'managed $X million construction project' or 'reduced project timeline by Y% through improved risk management'

2

Highlight any experience with environmental, carbon capture, or water treatment projects in your resume - this is essential knowledge for the role

3

Demonstrate your understanding of Capture6's specific approach by mentioning their integration of carbon capture with water treatment in your cover letter

4

Include examples of managing projects from 'initial design to operation' as specified in requirements, not just planning phases

5

Show proficiency with engineering drawings by mentioning specific types you've worked with (P&IDs, PFDs, etc.) in your application

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your specific experience with engineering/construction project management (not generic PM experience)', "Technical knowledge of water treatment or carbon capture processes relevant to Capture6's technology", 'Examples of successfully managing stakeholder communications in complex infrastructure projects', "Why you're passionate about scaling carbon removal solutions specifically (not just general environmental interest)"]
