Mint Innovation has been developing innovative cleantech since 2016. Our mission is to provide low-carbon, circular economy solutions for recovering critical metals from waste (the urban mine) via plants in major cities around the world.
We’re nearing completion of our first electronic waste recycling facility in Western Sydney, which will showcase the innovative tech we’ve developed for recovering base and precious metals (e.g. copper & gold) from old scrap electronics. Following in its footsteps will be a roll-out of plants in major cities globally, as well as the deployment of further product lines.
Mint is expanding its engineering team to enable the rapid roll out of new e-waste plant projects and needs a senior engineer to take the lead on the design packages for new builds. With 10-15 years of experience in process plant design, your ability to talk the language of several different industries is going to be instrumental to your success in this role, and really help you engage with and mentor your new team of young process engineers. You may have a background in wastewater, oil & gas, dairy, FMCG or mineral processing – all fields where pumps, pipes and slurries are your bread & butter, similar to the day-to-day of Mint’s process plants.
While we have built our first plant in Sydney, you’ll appreciate that each subsequent build site and jurisdiction will have its own challenges to accommodate. You’ll dive into our existing designs and work out how to fit them into existing warehouses selected by our project managers, as well as how to implement any design improvements you identify along the way. Mint’s technology is developed in-house, so you’ll be able to bounce around your process improvement ideas directly with our scientists.
Our project management office has ambitious global deployment targets, so you’ll be working hand-in-hand with them to define plant build schedules and design deliverables for your team to provide. Your prior leadership and project management experience will therefore be very applicable.
In all, this is an amazing opportunity to join a growing tech startup in the cleantech space. You’ll have a high degree of autonomy to get things done, and you’ll appreciate the importance and consequence your role has on the company’s success.
The position is full-time, and will be located at our HQ in East Tamaki, Auckland. You’ll report to our Director of Engineering and work alongside our Engineering Manager (Technology Development). With a competitive salary and access to our employee share option programme, international travel will also be required from time to time.
Your main responsibilities will be to:
As a company that was born in a dingy basement, everyone at Mint has a “can do, no fuss” attitude and our Engineering Manager (New Builds) will be no different. We want someone who has a bias for action, a strong sense of urgency when it comes to solving problems – and someone who doesn’t get discouraged when setbacks occur. As a growing company, the right attitude and cultural fit is paramount.
Our ideal candidate will have as many of the following qualities as possible:
If the above sounds like you, apply with your CV via Seek and we’ll send you a link to a questionnaire as a first assessment. We’re aiming to shortlist and interview candidates through October for a start in December.
We embrace diversity and inclusion and are committed to equal opportunities. We actively encourage applications from all backgrounds. Please note you must have the right to work in New Zealand to apply for this job.
