• Monitor key performance metrics and drive continuous improvement

• Run trials, test ideas, and implement changes quickly

• Collaborate with operations, maintenance, and mine teams
• Help align plant performance with changing ore conditions
• Support and coach operators on process improvements

• 4–8 years of plant experience in mineral processing
• Strong background in flotation, milling, and process troubleshooting
• Experience working directly in an operating plant environment
• Proven ability to execute small projects and drive improvements

• High visibility role with direct impact on plant performance
• Opportunity to lead meaningful improvements and projects
• Tight‑knit, collaborative team environment
• Ability to see your work translate into results every day
• Plant‑based role with frequent exposure to industrial conditions
