Principal Financial Planning & Analysis

The world is going electric, and PLS is at the forefront of the charge. As a leading global lithium producer and owner and operator of the Pilgangoora Operation, the world's largest independent hard-rock lithium mine, we're helping power the clean energy transition.

Whether it's 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.
