Mecaware produces recycled strategic metals (lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese) from battery waste.
Thanks to our innovative effluent-free process, notably sulfate-free, we limit our impact on the environment and locate our plant as close as possible to the deposits, in situ for Gigafactories.
Our entire team shares a common vision: to transform the battery sector and make the circular economy a reality.
Join us in building a more sustainable and responsible European low-carbon battery industry.
As manager of our pre-industrial hydrometallurgy pilot line, your mission will be to test and validate the various stages of our process for extracting metals from batteries, with a view to optimizing it on a large scale.
Installation and commissioning
Manage the installation stages of the pre-industrial pilot (coordination of suppliers, monitoring of work, acceptance of equipment).
Participate in equipment qualification and draft commissioning protocols.
Identify discrepancies between design and field reality and propose corrective solutions.
Pilot operation
Plan test campaigns and ensure that they run smoothly on site.
Ensure optimal operation of equipment (settings, adjustments, first-level maintenance).
Ensures the safety of operations and contributes to risk analysis processes, using and/or developing existing procedures.
Collecting, making reliable and analyzing operating data to provide feedback.
Upgrading and optimization
Identify any technical or organizational bottlenecks slowing down the ramp-up process, and take corrective action.
Work closely with R&D teams to adapt the process to industrial realities.
Participate in plant upgrades (PFD, P&ID, material balances, sizing).
Link with R&D teams
Translate R&D objectives into usable test plans on the pilot.
Participate in capitalizing on test data to feed product/process development.
Provide input on technical orientations to be validated by the pilot.
