Core role in scaling breakthrough technology High ownership in a technically dynamic environment Renewable Metals is redefining how the world recovers critical minerals. We\'ve developed a world-first alkali recycling process capable of recovering over 95% of metals from battery waste—cleaner, more efficient, and built for scale. Backed by leading climate-tech investors and government funding, we are now commissioning our large-scale demonstration plant in Perth, with full-scale operations targeted for 2026. The Opportunity This is a flagship operational leadership role. You will lead the demonstration plant, not just to run it, but to prove, refine, and scale a new processing technology. Unlike steady-state operations, this environment is dynamic: process trials, engineering iteration, and continuous learning. The output isn\'t just production - it\'s data, insight, and confidence for commercial scale-up. You will lead a multidisciplinary team across operations, engineering and technical functions, setting the standard for how this plant - and future plants - operate. What You\'ll Own Safe, reliable and efficient plant operations Execution of production runs, trials, and demonstration campaigns Leadership of a multidisciplinary plant team Process optimisation, continuous improvement, and operational learning Input into future plant design and scale-up decisions About You You are an operator who can lead in uncertainty. Chemical/process engineering background Proven leadership in processing or chemical plant environments Strong safety and operational discipline Comfortable operating in a non-steady-state, evolving plant Experience in pilot/demo or scale-up environments highly regarded Why This Role Lead a first-of-its-kind processing facility Direct impact on commercialising new technology Rare opportunity to shape how a plant evolves from demo → commercial #J-18808-Ljbffr
