The opportunity

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence . As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads.

What you'll do

  • Air Permitting Support: Assist senior staff in advancing air permit applications across multiple simultaneous campaigns, including New Source Review (NSR), Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD), and minor/synthetic minor permit applications with the TCEQ and other state agencies. Support Permit by Rule (PBR) registrations and Standard Permit authorizations, respond to Notices of Deficiency (NODs), and track permit status and milestone schedules.

  • Air Compliance: Support ongoing compliance obligations under Title V operating permits, NSPS, and NESHAP standards. Monitor compliance schedules for operational limitations, testing requirements, and reporting deadlines; assist with periodic compliance certifications, deviation reports, and annual emissions inventory submittals; and support stack testing coordination and NSPS Subpart IIII, KKKK, KKKKa and NESHAP Subpart ZZZZ applicability determinations.

  • Emissions Calculations & Inventory: Perform and QC emissions calculations in support of permit applications and annual state reporting. Calculate potential-to-emit (PTE) and actual emissions using EPA AP-42 emission factors, CEMS data, and vendor-supplied performance data.

  • Regulatory Research & Agency Interaction: Stay current on federal and state air quality regulations relevant to Crusoe's operating fleet. Support drafting of routine regulatory agency correspondence and support preparation for TCEQ inspections and audits, including records compilation and site readiness.

  • Documentation & Compliance Tracking: Maintain highly organized and audit-ready compliance documentation. Support management of compliance calendars, permit condition trackers, and testing/reporting logs; support development and maintenance of standardized recordkeeping templates and SOPs as the program scales; and support EHS information system implementation.

  • Process analysis & Optimization: Map and evaluate existing environmental processes to identify automation opportunities, bottlenecks, and data gaps; recommend AI-assisted improvements that reduce manual burden while maintaining regulatory defensibility

What they're looking for

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Field Operations to communicate permit conditions, operational limits, and monitoring requirements to site personnel. Work closely with project development and construction teams to identify air permitting needs early in the site lifecycle, and develop environmental training materials related to air compliance.
  • Educational Foundation: Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering, Atmospheric Science, or a related scientific/technical field is preferred (equivalent field experience is also welcome).
  • Professional Experience: 1–5 years of dedicated air quality compliance or permitting experience
  • Air Permitting Knowledge: Foundational to working knowledge of NSR/minor permitting, Title V operating permits, and/or PBR and Standard Permit mechanisms. Familiarity with TCEQ permitting processes is highly preferred.
