About Highwood
Highwood Emissions Management is on a mission to make industrial emissions transparency the new default. Since launching in 2020, our team of engineers, scientists, and policy experts has helped energy producers representing 10% of global oil & gas output slash methane and carbon emissions—and earn OGMP 2.0 Gold Standard certification—faster and at lower cost.

You’ll tackle complex climate challenges alongside industry pioneers, supported by a culture of respect, curiosity, and a good dose of fun. The pace is brisk and the problems are tough, but the rewards—professional growth, real-world impact, and equity in our success—are big.
