At Mint Innovation, we are pioneering a sustainable way to reduce e-waste build-up and help restore our planet by returning circular green metals to economies everywhere. We are looking for a driven and passionate Process Engineer to join our scientists and engineers and continue the growth and development of our cutting-edge technology.

Why Mint Innovation?

Mint Innovation is a high-growth clean technology company that has commercialised a proprietary low-carbon, local and circular technology to recover circular green metals from electronic waste. With our first commercial biorefinery operating out of Australia, we are following this up quickly with more biorefineries in more countries to make a true impact.

As we gear up for global impact, we need top talent to join our team in achieving our ambitious goals.

As a key member of our team, you will be a key player in designing and developing new technologies with a major focus on the scale-up of processes from lab/pilot scale to pilot/demonstration scale.

The Role

The position is full-time fixed term position (until end of January 2025) and will be located at our site in East Tamaki, Auckland. You'll report to the Director of Engineering and work closely with the Chemistry Lead. With a competitive salary, you'll also have the opportunity to further your career as we grow and develop novel recycling processes.

Your main responsibilities will include:

  • Lead the engineering and design for the scale up of a new recycling process and supporting plant infrastructure.
  • Fabrication and installation of pilot equipment, engineering and design input for pilot and demo scale plant, leading the engineering effort and technical governance, .
  • Assistance with pilot plant equipment specification, procurement, build and commissioning support.
  • Review and assist with the interpretation of lab/pilot plant scale results and translate this to meaningful data for demonstration plant design and build.
  • Help identify and optimize new technologies for process simplification and other value improvement initiatives to support future plant and new technology developments.
  • Assist with engineering documentation and reports for project stage gate approvals where required.
  • Direct communication with a chemistry focused R&D and commercial teams.
  • Liaise with external parties including specialist consultants, technology and equipment suppliers when needed, and with external vendors during plant design, build and testing phases.
  • Where required, carry out in-depth root cause analysis through methodical troubleshooting and propose fit for purpose, safe and cost-effective solutions.

Skills and Experience

As a company that was born in a dingy basement, everyone at Mint has a "can do, no fuss" attitude and our Process Engineer will be no different.

Our ideal candidate will have as many of the following qualities as possible:

  • BE (Hons) or BTech degree in Mechanical or Process Engineering. Other engineering disciplines will be considered
  • Good practical experience post qualification, including hands-on experience with pipe fitting and welding & experience in workshops & fabrication
  • Proficient with engineering software applications
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Able to work closely with and collaborate with engineers and scientists
  • Self-motivated with a positive and practical "can-do", roll-up-your-sleeves attitude to getting things done, solution-orientated mindset

If the above sounds like you, apply with your CV via Seek. We're aiming to shortlist and interview candidates through May / June for a start date in June / July.

We embrace diversity and inclusion and are committed to equal opportunities. We actively encourage applications from all backgrounds. Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the requirements, women and under-represented groups of candidates tend to only apply when they meet every requirement. If you think you have what it takes but don't necessarily tick every requirement on this job description, please still get in touch and apply to Mint. We'd love to chat to see if you'll be an epic fit

Your application will include the following questions:
