Some of your duties will include:
· To lead the metallurgical process analysis and continuous improvement initiatives by applying advanced process analytical techniques and R&D studies to support Operations & Maintenance in the safe, efficient, and optimized expansion of the copper & gold mineral processing plant.
· Act as the technical lead in process metallurgy, supporting both upstream (crushing, grinding, flotation) and downstream (thickening, filtration, concentrate handling) operations.
· Oversee and analyze plant metallurgical performance, identify bottlenecks, and propose process improvement strategies to optimize recovery, throughput, and reagent usage.
· Design and supervise plant trials, pilot studies, and R&D projects related to process optimization and metallurgical innovation.
· Ensure reliable operation and data integrity from on-line analyzers, lab instrumentation, and process control tools.
· Collaborate with the Maintenance and Operations teams to troubleshoot metallurgical process issues and define corrective actions.
· Develop and maintain mass balance models, metallurgical accounting systems, and performance dashboards.
· Liaise with vendors, consultants, and technology providers for benchmarking, trials, and technology implementation.
· Provide metallurgical input for plant expansion projects, including equipment specification, process design, and commissioning support.
· Mentor junior metallurgists and technicians, fostering capability growth and knowledge transfer.
