General Application – Join TerraFixing
HRFull TimeOttawa, ON
About us
TerraFixing is a Canadian company developing Direct Air Capture (DAC) systems designed to operate efficiently in cold climates. Our technology captures CO₂ directly from the atmosphere using proprietary adsorption processes and enables decarbonization in remote northern regions where renewable energy potential is high.
Having secured over $3M in government funding (NRCan, SDTC, IRAP) and a $10M commercial agreement, TerraFixing is at a pivotal stage of growth. We are scaling our technology from lab prototypes to commercial-ready units capable of removing CO₂ from the atmosphere at low cost and high efficiency.
We are a growth-mindset company — our capabilities, technology, and impact expand every day. We are on a noble mission to fix global warming, and while the work is challenging, we face it with grit, optimism, and a commitment to creating a better future. At TerraFixing, communication, teamwork, and constructive conflict resolution are essential to how we build both our technology and our culture.
