About Us

Imerys British Lithium (IBL) is a joint venture between Imerys S.A. and Lithium Assets Ltd., formerly British Lithium, developing a world class micaceous lithium resource in Cornwall. IBL have developed unique, patented technology for the sustainable recovery of battery grade lithium carbonate from micaceous granite, with the goal of building the world’s first integrated lithium mine, beneficiation plant and refinery producing 20,000tpa of lithium carbonate – enough to support production in the UK of 350,000 electric vehicles per year.

Imerys British Lithium operates a state-of-the-art pilot plant, built to develop our unique LiMica-Sep™ and Li-Sep™ technologies for the sustainable extraction of lithium from micaceous granite. Capabilities at the facility involve a wide range of process technologies, such as mineral beneficiation, pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, precipitation, crystallisation, and ion exchange, at both the laboratory and industrial scales.

The competitive landscape is highly dynamic and so speed is essential for us to enter the market. This role is instrumental in the delivery of the plan to develop a full-scale integrated open-pit mine, concentrator and refinery to produce battery-grade lithium for the growing electric vehicle industry in the UK and Europe. Validation of the process technology is underway, however significant capital expenditure decisions are being made, such as the design of the 2 Mtpa / 20 ktpa commercial scale plant with very challenging schedules. This role therefore carries a significant responsibility of technical de-risking and cost optimisation. This requires a team of metallurgists and engineers with a high level of technical expertise. This furthermore requires well developed communication skills with a keen understanding of business priorities and stakeholder needs, and concern for impact.



Our people are important to us, our workplaces are diverse and inclusive and whilst maintaining the health, safety and environmental standards on site, for yourself and others around you, we’re an organisation with a wealth of career and development opportunities that allow you to tap into your full potential.

We would like our application process to be accessible to all - if you require an alternative way to apply then please get in touch on 01952 281924.
