Senior Process Engineer – Gold Processing
Project: $4B World-Class Gold Mining Project
We are seeking an experienced Senior Process Engineer to join a major EPCM-led $4B gold mining project in Nevada. This is a key technical role responsible for leading process development, metallurgical evaluation, and engineering studies across the project lifecycle, supporting the successful delivery of a large-scale gold processing operation.
The successful candidate will play a critical role in the development, optimisation, and technical assurance of process flow sheets, working across scoping, pre-feasibility (PFS), feasibility (FS), and detailed engineering phases
. This position requires strong expertise in gold processing, metallurgical test work interpretation, and the development of practical, operable process solutions.
- Lead process development and engineering studies for gold processing facilities, ensuring technical integrity and alignment with project objectives.
- Develop, review, and optimise process flow sheets, mass balances, PFDs, P&IDs, and process design criteria
. - Interpret and integrate metallurgical test work data into process design and engineering deliverables.
- Support engineering studies including trade‑off assessments, process simulations, equipment sizing, and technical evaluations
. - Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams including metallurgy, mechanical, piping, electrical, civil, and project controls to deliver integrated project outcomes.
- Provide technical input into CAPEX/OPEX estimates, risk assessments, and project execution strategies
. - Support process plant design with a focus on gold recovery, crushing, grinding, flotation, leaching/CIL/CIP, elution, detoxification, and tailings systems
. - Participate in HAZOPs, design reviews, and value engineering workshops to ensure safe, efficient, and operable plant solutions.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical excellence across the process engineering team.
- Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Mineral Processing, or related discipline
. - Significant experience as a Process Engineer within gold or precious metals processing projects
, ideally in an EPCM environment. - Strong experience delivering engineering studies across Scoping, PFS, FS, and execution phases
. - Proven knowledge of gold process plant design and process optimisation
. - Experience with metallurgical test work programs, process modelling, and equipment selection
. - Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills, with the ability to work across multidisciplinary project teams.
- Experience on large‑scale mining capital projects is highly desirable.
This is an opportunity to play a leading technical role on one of the mining sector’s most significant gold developments
, contributing to the successful delivery of a major, long‑life operation while working alongside an experienced project team.
