Principal Advisor Sustainability - NutonTM
About the role
Finding better ways to provide the materials the world needs.
NutonTM is a Rio Tinto venture with the purpose of commercializing our copper bio-heap leaching technologies, which enables us to leach copper sulfide ores and unlock vast copper resources that were previously uneconomic or technically challenging to process. One of the main differentiators of Nuton is our commitment to achieving leading environmental performance, including lower carbon emissions, lower water usage, a smaller land footprint, the ability to valorize materials otherwise considered waste, and the commitment to achieve positive social outcomes. Through deploying our technology, we have the potential to produce the lowest impact copper in the market and enable Positive Impacts in at least one of our five pillars: energy, water, materials, land and society.
We are looking for a passionate and experienced Principal Advisor Sustainability to join our Nuton™ team. In this role, you will play a crucial role in realizing Nuton's ambition to be a sustainability leader. You will identify, evaluate and recommend the most attractive opportunities to reduce Nuton's environmental footprint, and find efficiencies to minimize our impacts on our processing flowsheet and our partners' minesites. This position requires a solid background on material sciences or environmental engineering, with exceptional project management and communication skills.
