Business Development Manager

Bridger Photonics’ Gas Mapping LiDAR™ makes it simple and efficient for the oil & gas industry to reduce methane emissions and improve overall safety. We were founded in 2006 based on a core LiDAR technology and have since developed unique and differentiated technologies for oil & gas methane gas detection. This technology scans oil & gas infrastructures from the air, pinpoints the leaking equipment, and quantifies the emission rate. Associated maps and plume images eliminate the need to visit each site, so operators only need to deploy field crews where a leak is detected. Analytics provide insights that simplify mitigation and investment decisions.

We believe in our core mission - to support our clients in reducing methane emissions, through our core values. Above all else, we value technical excellence, integrity, and honesty. We believe teamwork, creativity, and a strong work ethic critically enable our success. We deeply value one another, our families, our community, and a sense of balance in life.
