Staff Engineer---STAFF METALLURGIST Tucson

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Company Overview, Position description, Job Duties & Responsibilities, Requirements. Also maybe Benefits? Not present. Pay? Not specific (commensurate). Schedule? Not specific. So we should include sections only if real content: About the role (maybe from Job Description Summary), Responsibilities (Job Duties & Responsibilities), Requirements (Education, Experience, etc). Possibly also "Qualifications"? But we can combine. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for each section heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines. Also remove "POSITION: STAFF METALLURGIST" maybe not needed as heading. We'll keep content. We need to include Company Overview? Could be part of About the role? The instruction: use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role (maybe includes company overview and job description summary). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (education, experience, etc). Possibly Skills? Could extract skills from requirements: organizational skills, communication, Excel/Word, Spanish fluency, etc. Could make a Skills section. But we must not create thin sections; better to combine into Requirements. We must not include Pay or Schedule sections because not specified. We must not include Benefits unless stated; none. Thus produce:

  About the role

  Company overview paragraph...

  Job Description Summary paragraph...

  Then

  Responsibilities

  • ... each duty as li
  Then

  Requirements

  • ... each requirement as li
  We need to preserve all substantive info: include details like up to 50% field work, permanent salaried position, reports to Divisional Vice President, compensation commensurate, etc. Those could go in About the role or Requirements? Probably About the role includes position details. We'll include them in About the role. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we won't have heading "Staff Metallurgist". Good. We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "We Are An Equal Opportunity Employer" etc. Remove that. Also remove duplicated lines. Let's extract content. Company Overview paragraph: "Certerra Subsurface Imaging Inc (formerly Hydrogeophysics Inc) is a full-service geophysical consulting company. We work across the world and specialize in mining solutions, environmental concerns and leak detection. We are passionate about contributing to the sustainable development of the communities we serve. We are a national firm with a global reach serving national and international clients from 30+ offices located in 10 states and are ranked on ENR’s Top 500 list alongside the nation’s top firms. With a 60-year history, CERTERRA has a passion for high-end services, constant innovation, and investment in the development of world-class laboratory facilities, and interactive management technologies. Each member of our staff is committed to service, innovation, and the success of our clients." Job Description Summary: "The Staff Metallurgist is responsible for applying hydrometallurgical expertise to the characterization of heap leach pads and the design and execution of solution injection programs on active and legacy mining operations. The role bridges process metallurgy with non-invasive subsurface imaging: the incumbent will interpret leach pad performance data (solution chemistry, recovery histories, column and bottle roll test results, operational records, and stacking configuration) and translate those observations into survey objectives that our geophysical team can test with electrical resistivity, induced polarization, and electromagnetic methods. Candidates are not expected to arrive with geophysical experience; the company will train the right metallurgist in its methods and workflows. Up to fifty percent field work is anticipated for both project performance and continued professional development. The Staff Metallurgist position is considered a permanent and salaried position. Position is open to applicants with compensation commensurate with the level of experience and technical expertise." REPORTS TO: Divisional Vice President (could be included in About the role). Now Responsibilities list: each bullet from Job Duties & Responsibilities. Let's list them: - Interprets solution chemistry (PLS, ILS, raffinate) and operational records to assess leach pad performance and residual recovery potential for copper and gold operations. - Develops conceptual models of leach maturity, short-circuiting, preferential flow, and residual metal distribution to guide geophysical survey design. - Supports the design and implementation of low-pressure solution injection well fields on active heap leach pads, including well spacing, bench placement, casing selection, and pilot test scoping. - Reviews and interprets column leach tests, bottle roll tests, and metallurgical balance data in support of residual recovery assessments. - Collaborates with geophysicists to correlate electrical resistivity, IP, and EM response to solution content, degree of saturation, and ore mineralogy. - Co-authors technical reports, technical memoranda, and proposals; contributes metallurgical sections and reviews integrated interpretations with higher-level staff. - Interacts with mine site metallurgy, process, and operations personnel during project scoping, field execution, and reporting. - Provides Spanish-language support during client interactions, site visits, and technical correspondence when applicable. - Participates in training in geophysical acquisition and processing methods under the mentorship of senior staff and progresses toward independent field leadership over time. - Contributes to bid preparation, scope development, and cost estimation for metallurgy-adjacent projects. - Supports field crews with site-specific metallurgical context (e.g., acid distribution strategy, curing, aeration, stacking history) during survey planning and execution. - Completes production reports, time logs, project logs, and other office or project-related paperwork as required. - Provides field supervision of support personnel as needed. - May interact with subcontractors and clientele. - Responsible for reporting defects in field or work-related equipment. - Assists with health and safety plans (e.g., HASP). - Responsible for maintaining OSHA and MSHA certifications (company-supported). - Observes and enforces all safety protocols. Now Requirements: Education, Experience, Skills, Physical Demands, Travel. Education bullet: "A B.S. degree in Mining Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related discipline, with coursework in hydrometallurgy at a minimum. An M.Sc. in a metallurgy- or mining-related field counts as two years of experience, and a Ph.D. in the same counts as four years of experience." Experience bullet: "2+ years of experience on copper or gold heap leach, dump leach, or in-situ leach projects, including exposure to operational leach pad performance, solution management, or metallurgical test work (column, bottle roll, or pilot scale)." Skills bullet: "Display strong organizational skills, as well as excellent oral and written communication ability. Must demonstrate proficiency with Microsoft Excel and Word. Spanish-language fluency (written and spoken) is strongly preferred given the company’s active project portfolio in Latin America. Candidates without prior geophysics background are encouraged to apply; training in resistivity, IP, and EM methods will be provided on the job." Physical Demands bullet: "Must demonstrate the ability to lift and carry a minimum of 50 pounds (special exemptions may apply)." Travel bullet: "Projects may require travel up to 50 percent of work schedule, including domestic and international assignments." We could also include "Reports to: Divisional Vice President" maybe in About the role. Now produce HTML. We'll wrap each section in

  then content. For About the role: include company overview paragraph and job description summary paragraph and reports to line maybe as a sentence. We'll use

  for prose. Thus:
