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.
What they're looking for
- Direct experience with vanadium electrochemistry, electrochemical reactor design, sulfide leaching chemistry, or closed-loop hydrometallurgical processes
- Experience leading EPC contractors and owning project controls (cost, schedule, and risk) on first-of-a-kind or first-commercial facilities
- Experience with complex feedstocks: arsenic-bearing ores (enargite), mixed sulfide-oxide bodies, refractory copper oxides (chrysocolla), and tailings reprocessing
- An active network among copper-major technical executives
