Familiarity with hydrometallurgical processes or chemical interactions in technical innovations. Proven ability in design development and risk assessment for chemical processes. Experience managing laboratory processes. Knowledge of Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) methods, such as ion-exchange or adsorption. Desirable: Passion for renewable energy and Cornwall's transition to net-zero carbon. Ability to thrive in a results-driven team and adapt to a fast-moving environment. Strong organizational skills to meet tight deadlines and budgets. Why Join Us? This is an important role within a team pioneering geothermal and lithium innovations in the UK. You'll be part of a project demonstrating Cornwall's ability to lead in sustainable energy and resource production.
