Engineering Intern Program Management Support
Engineering Intern – Program Management Support
The very technologies that are creating a more sustainable future for us — semiconductors, electric vehicles and solar panels — are built on a foundation of metals extracted from the earth at great financial and environmental cost. At ElectraMet we're building a circular economy that reduces dependence on mining these critical materials through novel electrochemical technology that separates and recovers dissolved metals from process and wastewater streams.
We are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Engineering Intern to join our growing team.
