Drive sustainable solutions while accelerating your career growth.
Permanent role based in Salt Lake City, Utah

About the role

Nuton® is an innovative venture helping to grow Rio Tinto’s copper business by unlocking new value from low‑grade copper resources, waste, and tailings. Built on nearly 30 years of research and development, Nuton® combines proprietary copper leaching technologies with strong environmental performance supporting more efficient water use, lower carbon emissions, and the reclamation of mine sites through reprocessing. Learn more about Nuton here Our Technology - Nuton

This is a rare opportunity to develop and implement a research and development program at the intersection of technology, sustainability, and real‑world impact. As Research & Development Manager, you will define the future of the Nuton® technology suite, guiding how ideas move from laboratory innovation to scalable, value‑creating solutions that support global copper production.

Reporting to the Nuton Technical Lead, you will play a pivotal leadership role in setting direction, building capability, and fostering a collaborative, inclusive R&D culture.

What you’ll do

In this role, you will lead Nuton’s technology development agenda by setting a clear roadmap and translating business priorities into focused, well‑designed R&D programs. You’ll build and mentor a multidisciplinary team, manage external and internal partnerships, and ensure that learning, insight, and intellectual property are shared across Nuton programs.

Your work will include:

Setting and delivering the Nuton® Technology Development Roadmap, aligned to business needs and future growth opportunities
Establishing and leading a high‑performing R&D team, creating an environment where diverse perspectives are valued
Designing and overseeing laboratory‑scale test work, modeling, and technical studies that improve process efficiency and performance
Managing budgets, schedules, and scopes of work across multiple R&D programs
Partnering closely with internal teams and external collaborators to provide technical guidance and support
Contributing to and leading technical reviews, sharing insights and lessons learned
Owning and evolving the Nuton® intellectual property framework, in collaboration with legal and technical stakeholders
Supporting our project leads with technical direction while helping translate innovation into measurable value

What you’ll bring

We know great candidates don’t always meet every requirement. If this role excites you and you believe you could make a strong contribution, we encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn’t completely align.

A strong personal commitment to health, safety, and care for others
Experience leading R&D programs within hydrometallurgical or related processing environments
Experience with leaching processes, particularly copper heap leaching, is an advantage
An advanced degree in engineering (metallurgical, chemical, engineering, or a related field)
Ability to build a vision and foster alignment and support to bring that vision to life
Confidence building relationships with stakeholders at all levels, both internal and external
Ability to influence direction and decision making at a senior level
The ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary and cross‑functional teams
Clear, thoughtful communication skills written, verbal, and interpersonal.

Benefits offered

Competitive salary with performance-based bonuses.
Retirement options that include a 6% company contribution to a defined plan, 401(k) matching, and a share ownership program.
Generous time-off opportunities include paid time off, holidays, bereavement leave, and four months of parental leave for all parents.
Comprehensive health plans covering medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and additional voluntary benefits.
Access to wellness initiatives, including employee discounts and an employee assistance program for confidential support.
