Chemical Engineer for Nickel and Copper Recovery Project
I am looking for a chemical engineer to lead an urgent six-month project on the recovery of nickel and copper from industrial waste streams using a novel calcium silicate material. The work sits within a larger University of Strathclyde programme, funded by Scottish Enterprise, on the clean-up of industrial waste.
The core task is to design, build and commission a stirred-tank reactor demonstrator and test it with an industrial partner on real waste. Funding is already in place to commission the build, so the role takes a working design through to a tested unit rather than stopping at a specification.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What I'm Looking For:
- A chemical engineering background, ideally at post-doctoral level, though relevant industrial process experience is highly desirable and equally welcome
- Hands-on stirred-tank reactor design, commissioning and scale-up — CSTR / continuous experience a strong advantage together with solid–liquid separation
- Someone who can move at pace: design, build and test inside six months
