About us The world is going electric, and PLS is at the forefront of the charge.

Our collaborative, inclusive culture is a cornerstone of PLS. Humble, down-to-earth and genuinely invested in each other, we are one team united by a common purpose and driven to do great work together.

Being such a fast-moving company in clean energy transition means there is no shortage of challenge or opportunity. Whether it is taking on new projects, developing new skills or stepping into bigger roles, PLS is a place where careers move and where your potential has room to grow.

We're not a big corporate, and we don't want to be. At PLS you own your work, you're backed by people who care about doing a valuable job, and there's room to innovate and make things happen.

Positioned to be a major force for change, this is a great time to join us as we play a critical role in addressing the global energy crisis. If you want to be part of an organisation that is all about great people shaping the next era of battery minerals, we would love to hear from you.

The future is lithium, make it yours.

These are permanent full-time positions commencing in September and October 2026, which will begin on a FIFO 8:6-day shift roster from Perth or DIDO in the Pilbara region,



then later transition to an 8:6 7:7 (day & night shift) roster. All required training will be provided.
