Process Trainer

The Jerritt Canyon deposit was discovered in 1972, and the first gold production from the property occurred in 1981. The Jerritt Canyon property contains 30,821 hectares of mining claims located in the mining-friendly state of Nevada. First Majestic acquired the Jerritt Canyon Gold Mine from Sprott Mining Inc. on April 30, 2021. In May 2023, operations were suspended to prioritize exploration and technical studies.

Jerritt Canyon is now entering a new phase of evaluation and planning, requiring substantial technical support to advance the work necessary for a potential future restart of operations.

The Process Trainer is responsible for developing, delivering, and maintaining training programs that support safe, efficient, and reliable operation and maintenance of gold processing facilities. This position works closely with Operations, Maintenance, Metallurgy, Process Engineering, Safety, and site leadership to ensure employees have the knowledge, skills, and practical competency required to operate and maintain processing equipment and systems to established standards.

The Process Trainer will provide a strong field presence, combining classroom instruction, hands‑on practical training, on-the-job coaching, competency assessments, and procedure development. The role will support the full processing plant lifecycle, including commissioning, start-up, steady‑state operations, shutdowns, maintenance activities, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.

• Develop, coordinate, and deliver comprehensive training programs for gold processing operations and maintenance personnel.
• Provide training on processing plant systems, equipment, operating procedures, maintenance activities, control systems, and safe work practices.
• Deliver both Operations and Maintenance training, ensuring employees understand how equipment operates, how it should be maintained, and how operating practices affect equipment reliability and metallurgical performance.
• Train personnel on key gold-processing circuits and equipment, which may include crushing, grinding, classification, gravity recovery, flotation, leaching, carbon-in-pulp/carbon-in-leach, adsorption, elution, electrowinning, gold room operations, tailings, water systems, reagent systems, pumping, filtration, and associated utilities.
• Develop and maintain training materials, operator guides, lesson plans, job aids, standard operating procedures, work instructions, and competency assessment tools.
• Conduct practical, field‑based training and coaching at operating equipment and process areas.
• Assess employee competency through written, verbal, practical, and task‑based evaluations.
• Identify competency gaps and develop targeted training and refresher programs to address them.
• Train operators in normal, abnormal, upset, emergency, and shutdown/start‑up operating conditions.
• Train maintenance personnel in equipment fundamentals, isolation requirements, equipment‑specific maintenance practices, troubleshooting, and safe return‑to‑service requirements.
• Work with Operations and Maintenance supervisors to establish and maintain competency requirements for critical tasks and positions.
• Support new‑hire onboarding, job qualification, cross‑training, refresher training, and advancement programs.
• Participate in commissioning and start‑up activities by developing training plans and preparing operators and maintainers for new or modified equipment and processes.
• Review operating and maintenance procedures to ensure they accurately reflect current plant conditions, equipment, controls, and best practices.
• Collaborate with Process Engineering and Metallurgy to translate process knowledge, metallurgical objectives, and process‑control…
