The issue
Lithium extraction is a key societal challenge as it supports energy transition by enabling the large-scale deployment of electric vehicles and renewable energy storage solutions
The Project
As part of the development of lithium extraction activities, we are looking for a Process Operator to conduct laboratory tests and analyze results to evaluate lithium extraction technologies, optimize process operating conditions, and generate valuable data for process modeling and optimization.
The project is based in Norway two-thirds of the time and in France the rest of the time.
Job Description
Overview of the rôle
• Daily monitoring of batch tests and pilot lithium extraction installations conducted on several laboratory units located in Norway.
• Supervising sample collection, analysis, and result tracking, in collaboration with the on-site team and the remote team. If necessary, performing physico-chemical analyses using various analytical equipment.
• Participating in maintenance, revision, or modification operations of the installations.
• Participating in the processing and interpretation of experimental results to support the development of the lithium extraction process.
• Contributing to the design and updating of the experimental plan, based on the team's key objectives, ongoing projects, and new data acquired.
