Crynodeb

Geothermal Engineering is developing the first geothermal power plant in the UK at its site in United Downs near Redruth, Cornwall. Two deep wells have been drilled and developed and the power plant will shortly move into the commissioning phase. We are also now planning to build a lithium demonstration plant using the naturally occurring lithium resource in the geothermal brine. An opportunity has arisen for a process chemist to provide a key role in the execution of the lithium project.

The ideal candidate will be a chemist with a degree in chemistry or chemical engineering, and at least three years’ work experience. While it will not be a pre-requisite to have experience in lithium processing, some knowledge in hydrometallurgy would be beneficial.

This will be an important role within a team focused on demonstrating how Cornwall can be at the forefront of lithium production in the UK. The person will need to adopt a positive, proactive and methodical approach to the development of the lithium project.

The position will be full-time and based in Cornwall. The candidate will need to demonstrate the following:

• Experience of working in extractive chemistry.
• Familiarity with the development of new and innovative technical processes.
• Contributing towards design development.
• Ability to understand chemical interactions in new processes and plan ways to
change processes depending on results.
• Evidence of risk assessment techniques and development of processes with
full adherence to best practice in health, safety, and environmental
procedures.
• Management of laboratory processes.
• Familiarity with Direct Lithium Extraction methods such as ion-exchange or
adsorption.

Desirable Qualities
• Interest in renewable energy and Cornwall’s move to net zero carbon by 2030.
• Work well in growing results driven team.
• Ability to learn new processes and apply these to company strategy in a fast-
moving environment.
• Capable of working to tight deadlines and budgets.

Key Responsibilities:
• Operation and refinement of lithium process demonstration plant.
• Contribute towards design and construction of commercial scale lithium plant.
• Working with power plant staff to understand and manage corrosion and
scaling.
• Appropriate health and safety management

Salary: The company will offer a competitive salary based on the candidate’s skills and experience for this exciting new role, plus benefits.

Hours: 37.5

Location: United Downs Industrial Estate, St Day, Cornwall, TR16 5HY

To apply for this role, please send your CV and cover letter to careers@geothermalengineering.co.uk with the subject ‘Chemist Application’.

Closing date: 12pm on Friday 17th January 2025
