Who We Are Looking For: 

Phoenix Tailings is looking for a Senior Process Engineer with deep experience scaling mining or metals processing operations from pilot or early commercial stages into reliable, high-throughput systems. In this role, you will own core process design decisions that directly impact recovery, throughput, operating cost, and system reliability. Your work will be foundational to Phoenix Tailings’ transition from development-stage technology to full commercial operations—helping secure a domestic, clean supply of critical metals.
