• Work in collaboration with both internal staff and our clients to provide effective execution, coordination and supervision of mining, minerals processing and geometallurgical laboratory and fieldwork.
• Write technical reports and engineering documentation.
• Execute, coordinate and supervise laboratory and fieldwork.
• Process optimisation – ore characterisation, drill and blasting, crushing, grinding, flotation, concentration.
• Process flowsheet development, equipment sizing and selection, circuit design, process flow diagrams (PFD) and process instrumentation diagrams (PID) development and review.
• Mining and process support during commissioning of new circuits and expansions, Mass and metallurgical balance, mathematical modelling and simulation of comminution, flotation, concentration circuits, throughput forecasting and geometallurgical modelling.
• Site and remote process monitoring and support.
• Train clients.

Requirements

We are looking for someone with good communication skills as writing technical reports and completion of engineering documentation for our customers will be a key part of this role.

Qualifications

• Experience in Minerals Processing with proven knowledge in the fields of comminution, classification, flotation and geometallurgy.
