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.
You will be part of the Sales Department, whose role is to structure our offerings, create partnerships, and guide our customers toward innovative recycling solutions.
Your role will be to develop our recycling activities by helping to establish strategic partnerships with Gigafactories, end-of-life battery suppliers, and various players in the recycling value chain.
💼During this internship, you will have the opportunity to:
Develop the commercial activities of our multi-technical battery treatment hub by identifying sources of production waste or end-of-life batteries, establishing links with eco-organizations, and identifying relevant contacts among car manufacturers.

Establish partnerships for the sale of our products (critical metals) and co-products (aluminum, copper, graphite, iron, etc.).
Organize testing campaigns on the entire battery recycling process, in support of technical and sales teams.
Contribute to strategic decision-making by developing business plans that incorporate financial analyses of projects and material balances, in collaboration with technical teams.
