As of Aug 30, 2026, the average hourly pay for carbon capture in Alberta is $54.30, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $28.61 and $72.12 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is a carbon capture?

A Carbon Capture job involves developing, implementing, and managing technologies that capture and store carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial processes, power plants, or the atmosphere. Professionals in this field work on designing and optimizing carbon capture systems, conducting research, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Roles can include engineers, scientists, and project managers focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate climate change.

What are the typical responsibilities of someone working in carbon capture?

Professionals in carbon capture are usually tasked with designing, optimizing, and monitoring systems that capture and store carbon dioxide emissions from industrial processes. Day-to-day duties might involve data analysis, troubleshooting equipment, ensuring regulatory compliance, and coordinating with engineers, scientists, and environmental specialists. You may also participate in research initiatives to improve capture efficiency or reduce costs. This role often requires working both in laboratory settings and on-site at industrial facilities. Collaboration and problem-solving are key, as the work is often highly integrated within larger teams committed to sustainability goals.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the carbon capture position, and why are they important?

To thrive in a Carbon Capture role, you need a strong background in chemical engineering, environmental science, or a related field, often supported by a relevant degree and experience with carbon capture technologies. Familiarity with process simulation tools (like Aspen HYSYS), monitoring systems, and adherence to industry safety standards are essential. Outstanding problem-solving skills, collaboration, and effective communication are vital soft skills in this field. These competencies are crucial for optimizing carbon capture processes, ensuring regulatory compliance, and successfully working in multidisciplinary teams.

Job description


  • Perform in an advanced technical role conducting strategic subsurface work designed to support geoscientific-subsurface engineering issues facing Alberta, which is guided by the AGS operational plan.

  • Provide engineering advice, guidance, and leadership on large multi-disciplinary projects which may span outside of immediate job area to support both short-term and long-term Branch or Division level decision making.

  • Accountable for delivering results through publication of technical reports, maps, digital information, and peer-reviewed literature.

  • Prepare findings for internal and external audiences including non-AER stakeholders, as well as Teams, Branches, and Divisions within AER.

  • Actively manage data acquired or produced during AGS project work.

  • Works to ensure data and information is stored and described according to best-practice standards for re-use and is handled and protected after project is complete.

  • Provides reservoir engineering support and geological pore space management expertise to other branches in the AER through participation in AER projects or upon request.

  • Reservoir simulation and analytical modelling techniques to evaluate subsurface fluid flow, pressure behaviour, injectivity and long-term performance of reservoirs under production, disposal or storage scenarios.

  • Mentor engineers in addressing complex, poorly defined reservoir engineering challenges.


Requirements

  • Bachelor of Engineering degree along with 10+ years of progressive related experience in reservoir engineering or related oil and gas discipline; equivalent combinations of education and experience may be considered.

  • Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) registered with APEGA, or eligible for registration.

  • Experience supporting Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) initiatives, with knowledge of Alberta's subsurface regulatory and technical environment.

  • Strong experience in reservoir engineering fundamentals, including reservoir simulation, reserve/resource characterization and application to injection processes, pressure management, and subsurface storage systems (CCUS and disposal).

  • Knowledge of geological pore space issues as it relates to subsurface fluid flow (i.e. disposal, brine hosted minerals, and geothermal) in Alberta is an asset.

  • Ability to support Measurement, Monitoring and Verification (MMV) plans and evaluating produced fluids or acid gas disposal, including injectivity, compatibility, and pressure transient analysis, would be an asset.

  • Familiarity with AI-enabled approaches for analyzing large subsurface datasets, improving data integration, or supporting reservoir characterization and decision-making is an asset.

  • Strong analytical, communication, and collaboration skills, with the ability to navigate complex technical issues and support risk-informed decisions in a dynamic environment.


Core Competencies

Demonstrates expertise in reservoir engineering, including reservoir simulation and geological pore space management, while effectively communicating findings to diverse stakeholders. Proven ability to mentor engineers and support Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) initiatives within Alberta's regulatory framework.
