Type: Full Time

We are reCap.

And we are building the team that will change how America manages organic waste. That might

not sound sexy, but it’s really important.

Partnering with communities, we give leaders a better way to manage organic waste like

branches, leaves, limbs, and clippings. Through our patent-pending process, we produce an

amazing and versatile product called biochar. Biochar helps industries as diverse as agriculture,

construction, energy, and consumer products. It also stably stores greenhouse gasses that

otherwise would have been released and polluted our air.

What most people toss aside as worthless, we keep out of a landfill by turning it into a valuable

product. At the same time, we save local taxpayer dollars and do substantial good for the planet.

reCap is currently building our Third-Generation plant at our flagship production facility in

Tallahassee, FL. Our production operations manager will play a key role in working directly with

reCap leadership on finalizing the buildout and commissioning the new plant in early 2027 and

then in directing and overseeing plant operations. This position provides unparalleled opportunity

for advancement as the company expands.
