Process Scale-up Lead | Eligentis | Oxford

About Eligentis

Eligentis is transforming lithium extraction for a sustainable future. By leveraging an innovative Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology, we are enabling sustainable lithium supply for the global electrification in the decades to come.

60% of global Li reserves are in brines. Traditional pond evaporation methods are capital-intensive, environmentally damaging and have slow throughput. DLE mitigates these challenges via selective extraction of Li ions, improving speed, efficiency, and environmental impact. While early DLE solutions have proven to be commercially viable for high-grade brines, there is significant market demand for higher-performing, cost-effective solutions to unlock lower-grade brine lithium resources.

Our Solution

Eligentis’ next-generation sorbent technology delivers high Li uptake capacity, high selectivity, and uses a low-cost manufacturing process. This combination of high performance and low costs affords access to lower cost and cleaner lithium products for Li-ion batteries.

Sustainability Impact

Direct re-injection into aquifers of spent brine minimises water usage
No large evaporation ponds or large land disruption
Near-original water chemistry after Li extraction with minimal chemical footprint
Building a resilient global lithium supply chain provides the backbone for the energy transition

Our Story

The technology was originally developed by SENFI UK, the Oxford-based R&D centre of SCGC (chemical business of the $14 billion conglomerate SCG). Its development was led by Dr Jindui Hong, who has since joined Eligentis as Founder CTO. The founding team also includes Simon Gardner-Bond, a veteran investor in lithium and critical minerals sector, who has joined as CEO and Dr Kevin Matthews, a well-respected industry leader in the chemicals and materials industries, who has joined as Chairman. With the backing of a supportive investor group led by deep-tech investor Oxford Science Enterprises, Eligentis has moved from the development stage to commercial deployment.

Role Description

We are seeking a highly capable Process Scale-up Lead to take ownership of scaling the process of our direct lithium extraction technology from lab to field deployment.

This is a foundational role at the heart of our scale-up journey – where you will define the process architecture, build a pilot system from scratch, and generate the data that underpins commercial deployment.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to:

Lead the scale-up of a sorbent process technology
Take ownership from lab to pilot and field deployment
Work at the interface of engineering, chemistry, and commercial delivery

If you’re excited by the ownership, variety, and building something meaningful, we’d love to hear from you.

Key responsibilities

Process Development

Design, develop, and optimise lithium extraction process using Eligentis’ proprietary sorbent technology
Develop optimised process packages for customers’ brine waters
Generate and analyse experimental data to improve process performance and economics
Develop process models and material balance to support engineering design
Work closely with materials scientists to maximise overall system performance

Pilot Plant Development

Lead the design and construction of pilot-scale systems in collaborating with consultants and suppliers
Develop process flow diagrams (PFDs), operating procedures, commissioning plans, and test protocols
Work with engineering consultants and equipment suppliers to specify, procure, and integrate equipment
Lead HAZOP study, risk assessment, and process safety review
Commission and troubleshoot pilot systems
Support site selection, preparation, and permitting for the pilot systems

Field Deployment and Operations

Lead the deployment of pilot unit to the field
Operate pilot unit at customer sites
Collect, analyse, and report pilot data to customers and stakeholders
Troubleshoot operational challenges under real-world conditions
Contribute to techno-economic analysis and commercial validation
Represent Eligentis professionally with customers, partners, and investors

About You

We are looking for someone who is:

Technically strong and intellectually curious
Proactive and able to work independently
Practical, hands-on, and enjoy building and operating equipment
Clear and professional in communication
Excited by international travel and field work
Adaptable and excited by start-up environments

Essential Skills & Experience

Background in chemical engineering, process engineering, or related disciplines
Experience in process development in chemical industry, water treatment, adsorption, separation technologies, or related fields
Experience in building, commissioning and operating pilot-scale process equipment
Experience in HAZOP study, process safety review, risk assessment
Experience in analysing process data and translating results into process development
Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills
Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines
Willingness to travel internationally for pilot deployment and customer trials

Desirable

Experience with direct lithium extraction or brine processing
Experience with field trials

Why join us?

Lead the scale-up of a new technology at a critical stage
Work alongside with the founders and industrial leaders
Training and mentorship opportunities
Gain broad exposure across technology, engineering, operations, and commercial activities
Strong growth potential as the company scales
Making a real-world impact

Compensation & Benefits:

Salary: £40k-£65k/yr depending on experience
Employee share option scheme
25 days holiday plus 8 bank holidays
Pension scheme with a 5% Company contribution

Location: Oxfordshire, UK (main working site)

Travel: up to 30% international travel

Pay: £40,000.00-£65,000.00 per year
