Chemical Process Engineer - Hydromet Industrialization
  • Applications are considered on a rolling basis

Are you a chemical engineer looking for new opportunities within the sustainable sector? Do you want to contribute to the development, industrialization and production of new, greener and better performing batteries? Then this position might be very well suited for you

To ensure sustainable battery production and use, there is an undeniable need for battery recycling. No battery will have low carbon footprint unless raw materials are recovered from recycled products from the market. At Northvolt, we are proud to say that we integrate battery recycling as a critical building pillar in our battery production. Recycling batteries is however not a simple process. It is a highly complex combination of automated mechanical deconstruction steps, followed by a series of intricate hydrometallurgical processing steps producing high value products used both in battery production and other industries. Hand in hand with electrification, the battery recycling sector is increasing at record speed with new technology and processes being developed around the clock. Within the hydrometallurgical part of the process, standard principles of hydrometallurgy are being re-shaped into exciting new separation concepts.

As such, working with the hydrometallurgical part of battery recycling process is the ultimate challenge for chemical engineers searching to push their abilities and expertise to the next level. Working with cathode at Northvolt will provide you the possibility to be at the forefront of new battery recycling technology and processes within Europe, excel at engineering in new multi-million dollar investments and get hands dirty in the real recycling processes.

We are looking for recruitment in two locations:

  • Skellefteå, Northern Sweden - the right place for you that are looking for quick career development and project engineering experience. The work will involve hands on work close to production, start-up of new units and engineering of our new installations and factories. Pace is high and so very exciting
  • Västerås, Mid Sweden - is the place for you with a strong analytical mindset and ability to push research and industrialization of new concepts and technology forward. This is the excellent opportunity to become expert in the field.

To grow our Chemical Engineering & Industrialisation department, we are looking for members to join one of our area teams:

  • Recycling Team: focus on hydrometallurgical route of battery recycling, including leaching, precipitation, crystallization and solid-liquid separation.
  • Commissioning Team : focus on project execution phase including mechanical completion, dynamic commissioning, and system start-up.
