Bio-Process Engineer / Bio-Process Technician (industrial waste recycling process)

Job Summary

We are seeking a motivated Bio-Process Engineer/Technician to support the development and scale-up of bioleaching processes for the recycling of industrial waste using bacteria or other microorganisms. The roleinvolves conducting laboratory- and pilot-scale experiments, managing process flows to produce pregnant leach solutions, and evaluating key technical parameters to support process optimization and scale-up.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and conduct laboratory-scale experiments on the bioleaching of industrial waste using bacteria or other microorganisms.
• Prepare, operate, and monitor bioleaching systems (e.g., flasks, bioreactors, leaching columns) under controlled conditions.
• Handle and manage the overall process flow from feedstock preparation through bioleaching to obtain pregnant leach solutions (PLS).
• Monitor and analyze critical process parameters such as pH, temperature, redox...
