The way we see it, every Alcoan is a work-shaper, team-shaper, idea-shaper & world-shaper.\nElectrical Process Technician- ELYSIS\nA New Era for the Aluminum Industry - ELYSIS\nCarbon Free Aluminum\nThere is a new, revolutionary way to make aluminum. It eliminates all greenhouse gases. And it produces oxygen! The ELYSIS™ technology is the greatest breakthrough in the aluminum industry since its beginnings in 1886. It has the potential to drastically reduce the environmental footprint of the global aluminum industry.\nThe ELYSIS™ technology effectively puts an end to the use of carbon anode in the aluminum smelting process. It features the newly developed breakthrough proprietary materials that are stable and do not react during the process. Thus, it eliminates all direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the aluminum smelting process and is the first technology ever that emits oxygen as its byproduct.\nAn unprecedented world-class partnership of two major aluminum industry pioneers - Alcoa and Rio Tinto - led to the formation of ELYSIS, announced in 2018. The Canadian Government and the Quebec Government, through participation of Investment Quebec, have decided to support and be part of this industry revolution. The world’s technology giant Apple has helped facilitate the collaboration between Alcoa and Rio Tinto on the carbon-free smelting process and has agreed to provide ELYSIS with technical support.\nELYSIS is headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada with Technology Research & Development locations in Alma, Quebec, Canada, in Jonquière, Quebec, Canada, in New Kensington, Pennsylvania, United States, and in France.\nELYSIS provides a unique solution for drastic reductions in the carbon footprint of many products used in our daily lives, including transportation, construction, electrical and consumer goods industries.\nELYSIS metal is now being used by Apple (MacBook Pro and iPhone 12 SE), AB InBev (cans), Audi (e-tron GT wheels), and Corona (cans).\nAbout the Location\nThe ELYSIS US Research & Development facility is in the Alcoa Technical Center (ATC) located in New Kensington, PA, which is the birthplace of the aluminum industry. Near Pittsburgh, PA, the ATC is where the process being scaled up by ELYSIS was first developed with a dedicated team who continues to reinvent the aluminum industry for a sustainable future.\nAbout the position\nThe technician will participate in the development of innovative technology. This role is part of a development team working on the production, processing, testing, and scale-up of advanced materials and manufacturing techniques. This individual will assist with equipment operation, process development, and R&D experiments.\nKey Activities/Responsibilities\nThe technician will be responsible for leading and executing tasks including, but not limited to material batching, material handling (e.g., equipment loading and unloading), and equipment operation and maintenance.\n\nThe technician will prepare and test samples for chemical composition and physical properties as required for material development using laboratory analytical equipment.\n\nTechnician needs to have a diverse set of skills including strong mechanical aptitude to be able to work independently as well as leading teams for equipment disassembly, repair and trouble shooting.\n\nDevelops and maintains safe work instructions and works in compliance with all Alcoa EHS best practices\n\nThe technician will be required to operate overhead cranes, forklifts, and other mobile equipment.\n\nMust be able to eventually work a 12-hour rotating day and evening shift schedule.
