* 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
