The ideal candidate has at least 5 years of engineering experience with a strong track record on complex projects. A Mechanical Engineering background is preferred, though other relevant engineering disciplines will be considered. As a member of the Engineering Team, you will work closely with EPC contractors, technology providers, vendors, and multidisciplinary engineering teams to ensure that projects are technically sound, well integrated, and executed to the required standards. Key Responsibilities Lead systems engineering activities from concept and design through construction, commissioning, and startup. Develop and review system and subsystem requirements, equipment specifications, datasheets, design criteria, and other technical documentation. Maintain an understanding of the entire process flowsheet, including pre and post treatment of feedstock, extraction, water management, and reagents/utilities. Serve as a key technical interface to EPCs, reviewing deliverables, challenging assumptions, and ensuring alignment with project requirements. Coordinate across process, mechanical, electrical, controls, civil, and other engineering disciplines to ensure proper system integration. Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, FATs, commissioning, and startup activities. Provide technical leadership and mentorship to other project team members. What We're Looking For 5+ years experience, including significant experience with projects of similarly complex, multidisciplinary industrial or process facilities. Bachelor or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering preferred; other relevant engineering disciplines considered. Experience working with contractors and/or engineering consultants is a plus. Exceptional attention to detail, particularly with specifications, datasheets, drawings, calculations, and complex engineering packages. Ability to identify issues and inconsistencies that others may overlook Strong technical communication and documentation skills. Ability to manage complexity, work across disciplines, and drive technical issues to resolution. Ideal Candidate The ideal candidate is a systems thinker who is equally comfortable in the details. You can understand the overall objectives of a complex facility while also getting into the weeds of an equipment specification, vendor packages, or P&ID. You are comfortable working with partner companies from the Owner's perspective- able to critically review engineering work, challenge assumptions, and ensure the final design meets the project's technical, operational, and commercial objectives. Experience with DLE or lithium processing is valuable, but direct DLE experience is not required. We are particularly interested in engineers who have demonstrated the ability to understand and execute projects involving complex process technologies.
