## About the role

Still Bright is bringing the first viable hydrometallurgical alternative to copper smelting to market at a moment when global copper demand is outpacing supply by historic margins. Our proprietary RACER (Rapid and Complete Electrochemical Reduction) process delivers fast, complete copper extraction while recovering precious and critical co-products, and as a closed-loop system it offers precise control over outputs and radically reduces environmental impact.

- Direct copper or base-metals hydrometallurgy experience, including with complex or impurity-bearing ores
- Hands-on pilot-plant or demonstration-scale experience, including commissioning and troubleshooting of non-laboratory equipment at scale
- Demonstrated expertise in solid, liquid, and gaseous phase characterization techniques (XRD, SEM, XRF, QEMSCAN, ICP-MS, Fire Assay)
- Experience integrating multiple unit operations into a continuous or semi-continuous process
- Experience directing external engineering firms or managing third-party testwork
- Familiarity with process controls, instrumentation, and real-time performance monitoring
