Recruiting the Pioneers Rebalancing Earth’s Climate Systems

At Mint Selection, we support organisations working at the cutting edge of geoengineering, helping them build the scientific, operational, and policy teams required to responsibly scale climate intervention technologies. As global temperatures rise and mitigation efforts fall short, geoengineering has emerged as a controversial yet potentially critical pathway in the climate response toolkit.

​

From stratospheric aerosol research and direct air capture to ocean alkalinity enhancement and solar radiation modification, we work with innovators designing systems to reflect, remove, or rebalance excess heat and carbon. Whether you're a university spin-out, public-private initiative, or climate-tech venture, we help you recruit the specialists who navigate complex science, ethics, and implementation challenges.

Key Roles in Geoengineering Organisations

Professionals working in geoengineering are at the frontier of climate science, combining technical ingenuity with interdisciplinary collaboration. These roles demand deep expertise, regulatory awareness, and the ability to communicate high-impact science to funders, policymakers, and the public.

​

We recruit for geoengineering roles including:

​

Atmospheric Scientist / Climate Modeller – Conducting simulations and scenario analysis for solar radiation and large-scale climate interventions.

​

Geoengineering Research Engineer – Designing experimental systems for carbon removal, cloud brightening, or marine-based interventions.

​

Ethics & Policy Advisor – Guiding governance frameworks and stakeholder engagement for responsible deployment of high-risk solutions.

​

R&D Programme Manager – Coordinating pilot projects, grant reporting, and international collaboration across climate intervention initiatives.

​

Chief Science Officer / Technical Lead – Setting strategic direction, managing scientific integrity, and representing organisations at global forums.

​

These professionals are shaping what could become one of the most consequential fields in 21st-century climate innovation.

Why Geoengineering Matters

While mitigation and adaptation remain central to climate strategy, the IPCC and scientific community increasingly recognise that geoengineering may be necessary to reduce global temperatures or avoid tipping points. Deployed cautiously, and with robust safeguards, it could provide time to scale long-term decarbonisation.

Geoengineering solutions support:

​

Short-term temperature reduction through solar radiation management (SRM)

​

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) at scales beyond natural systems

​

Protection of vulnerable ecosystems from extreme climate effects

​

Research frameworks to evaluate long-term feasibility and risk

​

Informed, evidence-based policymaking on climate intervention

This emerging sector demands a new generation of scientific, ethical, and operational talent.

The Value of Specialist Recruitment in Geoengineering

Hiring for geoengineering organisations requires more than just technical ability—it demands scientific credibility, cross-sector fluency, and a clear commitment to responsible innovation. With limited precedent and high public scrutiny, building the right team is critical.

​

At Mint Selection, we support early-stage ventures, research consortia, and mission-led start-ups in sourcing professionals with the unique skills and mindset this field requires.
