Brokkr is building new, cleaner ways to unlock critical minerals and feed the battery, clean-tech, and defense supply chains. Join us as MicrobiologyLead to accelerate our microbiology program. Why this role is exciting You will be the go-to expert for how biology powers our processes.

The work you design will directly shape pilot plants, project decisions, andlong-term partnerships — not just papers and reports. A big part of the job is turning microbial behaviour into clear numbers that engineers anddecision-makers can act on.

What you'll do - Design microbial mixes and operating conditions that turn tough feeds into usable metals and products.

- Create and run experiments that give clear numeric answers on rates, stability, and limits (for example "how fast", "how robust", "under whichconditions").
- Turn cell counts, rate curves, genomics, and operating envelopes into simple parameters engineers can plug into process models and pilotdesigns.
- Build and lead a small microbiology team, helping juniors grow into confident, independent contributors.
- Set the tone for how the lab runs:



safety, quality, and documentation that partners and investors can trust.
- Help shape new IP and targeted publications that raise Brokkr's profile while keeping a strong commercial focus. What you bring - PhD or MSc in microbiology, geomicrobiology, microbial ecology, bioprocess, or similar.
- 5+ years of applied experience; bioleaching or industrial biotech experience is a big plus.
- Strong quantitative mindset: comfortable with counts, curves, rates, and basic data analysis, thinking in terms of "what do these numbers mean forthe process?".
- A track record of turning ideas into well-designed experiments and clear data.
- Experience leading or mentoring others in a lab setting.
- Enjoy working side-by-side with engineers and other disciplines, and explaining biological results in straightforward, numeric terms.

Compensation - $80,000 – $110,000+ CAD per year dependent on experience, paid semi-monthly
