Job description for Mechanical Engineer with Hot Gas experience at Urban Mining Asia
Seeking an engineer to manage an E-waste (phones, laptops, tablets and PCB’s) recycling process using a new low-temperature combined gasification and pyrolysis technology.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Oversee and optimise the e-waste recycling process utilizing the new low-temperature combined gasification and pyrolysis technology.
2. Design, implement, and maintain efficient systems for E-waste disposal and recycling, focusing on minimizing environmental impact.
3. Ensure compliance with environmental regulations and safety standards throughout the recycling process.
4. Manage and coordinate the day-to-day operations of the e-waste recycling facility.
5. Analyse and improve process efficiency, seeking ways to enhance resource recovery and reduce waste.
6. Develop and implement preventive maintenance schedules for recycling equipment and instrumentation.
7. Collaborate with other team members to create seamless and well-designed waste disposal plans.
8. Monitor and report on pollution levels, process efficiency, and overall environmental impact.
9. Oversee and administer budgets related to the e-waste recycling operations.
Required Qualifications:
1. Bachelor's degree in Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related field.
2. Proven experience in hot gas or smelting processes, which is crucial for understanding and managing the gasification and pyrolysis technology.
3. Strong knowledge of E-waste composition, recycling techniques, and associated environmental impacts.
4. Familiarity with relevant environmental regulations and waste management legislation.
5. Experience with process control systems and instrumentation related to waste treatment or recycling.
6. Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to optimize complex processes.
7. Strong leadership and project management skills to coordinate teams and oversee facility operations.
8. Proficiency in data analysis and report writing for monitoring and improving process efficiency.
9. Knowledge of health and safety protocols in industrial settings, particularly those related to e-waste handling and recycling.
This role requires a combination of technical expertise in waste management, specific experience with hot gas or smelting processes, and the ability to manage and optimise a novel recycling technology. The ideal candidate would be able to balance environmental concerns with operational efficiency while ensuring compliance with all relevant regulations.
