This is a part-time, fixed-term contract role aligned with a feasibility study sponsored by CIG and designed to meet international institutional standards.
Role Overview
The Research & Feasibility Lead will provide senior technical judgment and oversight for an industrial power feasibility supporting large-scale copper and cobalt mining operations. The role focuses on validating assumptions, guiding technical analysis, and ensuring outputs are decision-enabling rather than EPC-level.

-
Primarily remote, with up to three site visits to southern DRC
-
Travel aligned with key study milestones

Not a full-time or permanent role
Ideal Candidate Profile

12+ years of experience in energy, power systems, mining infrastructure, or related fields
-
Hands-on experience with feasibility studies or early-stage project development
-
Comfortable operating in emerging market environments
-
Ability to engage credibly with mining operators, engineers, and institutional stakeholders
