Who we are
At Genomines, our mission is to pioneer a new era of sustainable mining by using genetically enhanced plants to extract metals from the ground (agromining). Through synthetic biology and cutting-edge technology, we harness the power of nature to create bioengineered plants that can farm for metals while decontaminating soil and creating cleaner lands for agriculture. Our ultimate goal is to become the world's first carbon-negative mining group, using sustainable, eco-friendly methods to extract the valuable resources our society needs.

The right candidate will be a strategic thinker, adept at identifying opportunities for cost savings, risk mitigation, and efficiency improvements, while also demonstrating exceptional leadership skills to manage and inspire a diverse team. If you are passionate about revolutionizing traditional supply chain approaches and if you thrive in a collaborative, forward-thinking atmosphere, we invite you to apply and be a key driving force in our mission to reshape the future of sustainable mining.
