Senior Project Manager

Do you want to create a more sustainable future?

EasyMining is looking for a driven Senior Project Manager with location in Gothenburg who wants to save the global resources and participate in the transition to a circular economy.

Recovery and recycling of nutrients such as phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium from society back to agriculture is important for a sustainable world. Phosphorus and potassium are scarce resources in which EU is heavily dependent on virgin import. Both the manufacturing of mineral nitrogen fertilizers, as well as the required biological methods for treating nitrogen containing wastewaters consume large amounts of energy and chemicals. In addition, the established virgin-based processes lead to emissions of greenhouse gases and ammonia, which affects the climate, eutrophication, and causes acidification.

EasyMining has several patented processes that enables recovery of clean commercial products by using waste as raw materials. Examples of our processes are phosphorus recovery from incinerated sewage sludge ashes, nitrogen recovery and energy reduction of nitrogen containing wastewater, as well as, extraction of salts from fly ash created through incineration of municipal waste.

We are in the process of commercializing our technologies and are therefore in need of an experienced project manager with a mechanical background that wants to be a part of building new process plants for phosphorus production from incinerated sewage sludge.

Do you want to be a part of the new developing recovery industry?
