Working Student - Technical Support (all genders)

Do you want to gain hands-on experience shaping the future of low-carbon construction?

At sequestra, we develop cutting-edge technology to permanently store CO₂ in industrial mineral residues and turn them into high-value, climate-friendly building materials. Our solutions sit at the core of a sector with the potential to reduce global emissions by 4 gigatons.

We are building the global leader in carbonation intelligence - and we're looking for a Working Student (all genders) to support our technical team with a wide range of hands-on tasks, from lab work to general technical support. This role is open to students from any technical field of study (Materials Science, Chemistry, Civil, Mechanical, or Process Engineering, or similar).

We're headquartered in Vienna with two additional technical sites in Vienna and Upper Austria. Join an ambitious team and get real, practical exposure to a fast-moving climate-tech startup!

Tasks

• Assist with day-to-day lab processes, including sample preparation, testing, and documentation.
• Support general technical tasks - from setting up inventory and equipment to organizing lab and storage spaces.
• Help maintain lab infrastructure, tools, and materials.
• Support process and material development activities as needed.
• Assist with general technical troubleshooting and hands-on problem-solving across projects.

• Hands-on, practical mindset with a willingness to tackle a variety of tasks, big and small.

• Comfortable with physical, hands-on work (e.g. assembling shelving, lab setup).
• Good organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to work independently as well as part of a team.
• Passion for climate solutions - and ideally a healthy sense of humour. ;)

Benefits

• Gain practical, hands-on experience at a mission-driven climate-tech company at the forefront of CO₂ mineralization.
• Get real responsibility and exposure to both lab and technical operations from day one.
• Work closely with a highly motivated team in a dynamic startup environment.
