PHNX Materials
PHNX Materials is seeking a Pilot Plant Operator to support and lead daily operations at its California pilot facility. This role involves hands-on operation of pilot plant equipment, troubleshooting mechanical and process issues, and ensuring safety and quality during all runs. The position requires strong mechanical aptitude, experience with industrial processing equipment, and a commitment to operational discipline.
PHNX Materials is a clean-technology company that refines industrial waste streams — primarily landfilled coal ash — into critical materials for the semiconductor, building materials, and agriculture industries. The company extracts high-value metals and compounds including gallium, germanium, silicon, titanium, aluminum, and rare-earth elements from billions of tons of domestic industrial byproducts. PHNX aims to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign suppliers, particularly China, by reshoring domestic critical material supply chains essential to semiconductors, defense, and advanced manufacturing.
