A. BACKGROUNDMcJones Energy is an impact-driven climate solutions business dedicated to converting biomass waste into high-value biochar and wood vinegar while advancing carbon removal through enhanced rock weathering. Our cutting-edge technologies foster regenerative agriculture, strengthening food security and ecosystem resilience. Additionally, we pioneer renewable energy initiatives to accelerate decarbonization and climate adaptation. By merging ecological stewardship with economic empowerment, we provide farming communities with carbon-negative solutions that improve livelihoods and sequester CO₂. We currently have opportunities for driven National Service personnel to join our dynamic team.
This is a unique opportunity to engage in meaningful projects, gaining hands-on experience in research, process development, and cross-disciplinary collaboration while contributing to a sustainable future. B. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIESResearch and optimize biochar application rates/formulations for tropical soils to maximize crop yields and carbon sequestration. Design field trials for enhanced rock weathering (ERW) to validate CO₂ removal potential and soil health benefits. Collaborate with smallholder farmers to adapt solutions to local contexts, ensuring economic and environmental viability. Monitor soil carbon stocks, nutrient cycling, and microbial activity across project sites. Analyze data to quantify climate impact (e. g.
, CO₂ removal per hectare). Develop training materials for farmers on biochar/ERW use and sustainable practices. Work with engineers to integrate soil amendments into renewable energy byproduct streams (e. g. , biomass waste-to-biochar). Publish findings in reports or peer-reviewed journals to advance industry knowledge. Support carbon credit certification by providing soil science expertise for MRV (Measurement, Reporting, Verification). Stay updated on IPCC guidelines, voluntary carbon markets, and climate solutions. C. ESSENTIAL EXPERIENCE, SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGEBachelor’s/Master’s in Soil Science, Agronomy, Environmental Eng. or related field. Field experience with soil sampling, carbon sequestration techniques, and farm trials.
Knowledge of biochar, ERW, or regenerative agriculture practices. Data analysis skills (R, Python, or GIS a plus). Passion for climate justice and smallholder farmer empowerment. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. D. WORK WITH USTo apply, send a copy of your CV with a cover letter to: jobs@mcjonesenergy. com
