Engineer – Climate Change Mitigation in the Oil & Gas Sector

At Carbon
Limits, we work where climate ambition meets operational reality. One of the
fastest ways to slow near-term warming is to cut methane emissions, and the oil
& gas sector has a critical role to play.

We’re hiring an
Engineer to join our global consulting work on oil & gas climate
mitigation, with a strong emphasis on methane emissions from upstream
operations. This is a hands-on role for someone who has experience in the
O&G sector, and who wants to spend the next stage of it turning complex
technical challenges into practical solutions for clients around the world.

The role

You’ll work as
part of project teams delivering high-impact consulting work for governments,
NGOs, development banks, and oil & gas operators.

From day one,
you’ll be involved in substantive project work, applying your upstream
background to real-world problems. You’ll analyse operations and emissions
data, join field campaigns, build cost and abatement assessments, and help
clients understand what they can actually do about their emissions. Over time,
you’ll take increasing responsibility, leading workstreams and owning pieces of
delivery end-to-end.

You’re a doer
who enjoys combining analysis, field engagement, and collaboration with
stakeholders across cultures and geographies, and you are comfortable when
plans need to be rebuilt on the spot.

A realistic “first project” example

You might join
a methane assessment for an operator in a high-impact region, preparing for and
taking part in a field measurement campaign, working through production and
equipment data with site staff, assessing the cost and feasibility of specific
mitigation options, and helping the team translate the results into an
abatement plan the client can act on.

What you bring

Must-have

• At least 3 years of relevant
technical experience in the oil & gas sector, with direct exposure to
upstream operations

• A master degree in engineering
or similar

• Resourcefulness, flexibility
and a sense of adventure: our work takes us to sites and countries where things
rarely go exactly to plan, and we look for people who find that energising
rather than exhausting

• A solutions-oriented mindset;
you are drawn to the practical question of what can be done, and you translate
technical analysis into practical recommendations rather than stopping at the
findings

• Strong analytical and
problem-solving skills, with the ability to turn data into practical insights

• Willingness to travel regularly
internationally, including to client sites and the field

• Excellent English, written and
spoken; you will be drafting client-facing material from early on

• Translate complex issues in
practical language for both technical and non-technical audiences

• A team player who communicates clearly,
shares knowledge and supports others

Nice-to-have

We are not expecting you to meet all
these criteria, but a few in the list will be a plus:

• Field experience in upstream
oil & gas operations

• Field experience with LDAR
programmes, OGMP 2.0 Level 4/5 quantification, or executing measurement
campaigns

• Familiarity with OGMP 2.0
reporting, or with methane emissions more broadly (inventories, datasets,
mitigation and measurement technologies)

• Process engineering experience

• Consulting experience, and
comfort working directly with clients

• Project management experience, keeping
timelines, quality, and stakeholders moving together

• Experience communicating
technical topics to diverse audiences, from operators to policymakers

• Curious and creative mindset eager
to explore new solutions to clients’ problems

• Additional languages: Arabic,
Spanish, or Portuguese are particularly valued

Team & culture

You’ll join a
small, international, and mission-driven team that values collaboration,
curiosity, and learning by doing. We work across continents and cultures, often
in challenging environments, and we support each other along the way. As you
grow, you’ll take on more responsibility, develop deep methane expertise, and
help shape how Carbon Limits delivers impact globally.

And yes, from
day one, you’re welcome to bring creativity not only to tackling methane, but
also to planning our next team party.

Why Carbon Limits?

• We are a truly international
team, our colleagues come from Mexico to Bangladesh, as well as Portugal,
Lebanon, and beyond. We work in many languages with clients and partners around
the world.

• We may not be the biggest fish
in the pond, but we are widely recognized and trusted by clients in over 60
countries, with a strong focus on quality, integrity, and engagement.

• With 15+ years of experience in
methane management, we didn’t start working on methane because it’s fashionable:
we work on it because we genuinely believe it is one of the key opportunities
to slow near-term climate change.

• We deliver tools, skills and
knowledge, not just advice. Carbon Limits built Mist, a methane inventory and
abatement tool aligned with OGMP reporting approaches, designed to help
operators move from initial estimates to stronger data quality over time. We
spend a large share of our time on capacity building, from raising awareness to
hands-on transfer of skills.

• We don’t just advise: we aim to
catalyze change, grounded in data, field experience, and long-term partnerships.

Location: Oslo, Norway

You’ll be based
in our Oslo office. Norwegian work culture is widely known for prioritizing
work–life balance, including five weeks of paid vacation and respect for time
with family and the outdoors. And if you’ve heard of friluftsliv —
Norway’s “open-air living” mindset; Oslo
makes it easy to live it, with forests, fjords, ski trails, and hiking all
close to the city.

If you’re the
right person, we can support your work permit process.

If you’re motivated by climate impact,
technical depth, and global collaboration, we’d love to hear from you. Please
share your CV and academic transcripts before the stated deadline.
