• Support the design, execution, and data analysis of metallurgical programs alongside the engineering team.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Currently enrolled as a rising senior in an Undergraduate program or final-year Master's or PhD student pursuing a degree in Metallurgical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related process discipline.
• Foundational understanding of metallurgical testwork programs, mineral processing, and scale‑up principles.
• Familiarity with or strong interest in gold processing flowsheets (e.g., flotation, oxidation, heap leaching) is a plus.
• Strong technical writing, reporting, and presentation skills.
• Ability to analyze datasets, draw logical conclusions, and present findings clearly.
• A collaborative mindset with an eagerness to learn and proactively ask questions.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States.
