Engineering Manager, SummitPro

Create a Better Future:
As Engineering Manager for our Summit Pro™product line, you will lead the team behind our conventional electrowinning cells, carbon ADR plants, carbon regeneration kilns, mercury retort and abatement systems, Merrill Crowe and precious metals refining equipment. This is the equipment that decides how much of a mine’s gold and silver actually reaches a doré bar, and how safely the people in the gold room get it there.

You will partner with Product Line Management on where the technology goes next, set the technical standard the team designs to, and stay close enough to the field to know how your cells actually behave on site. You will not do it in isolation. You will work across our Capital and Service businesses, with the Salt Lake City process team, with colleagues in Operations, Sourcing and the regional teams, and with customers who will tell you plainly what is and is not working.

If you enjoy building a team’s capability as much as solving the engineering problem in front of you, this role will use both.

Provide leadership to the Summit Pro™ Engineering team where solutions have a high level of technical complexity and require input from numerous contributors. Have technical oversight over the engineering team, establish priorities and manage deadlines across new product development, product improvement, proposals and project execution. Own the engineering execution plan for capital projects: staff and schedule engineering resources across concurrent projects, review and approve engineering deliverables for technical quality and standards compliance, and manage engineering scope, schedule and budget performance across the project portfolio.

Partner with Product Line Management to translate Summit Pro product line strategy into engineering execution plans, balancing engineering resources across continued development of the Summit Pro™ self-cleaning cell, improvement of the conventional electrowinning range, carbon ADR plants, regeneration kilns, mercury retort and abatement systems, Merrill Crowe and refinery equipment. Develop precious metals recovery engineering solutions, creating scalability, engineering design standards, calculation and drawing templates, and scoping definition tools across process, mechanical, electrical, structural and automation disciplines, while minimizing costs and mitigating risks.

Lead the interface with the Service Business Line (SBL), ensuring Capital and Service Business Line are aligned on design changes, brownfield retrofit and rebuild scopes, spare part, electrode and consumable configurations. Own technical governance of site support for installed equipment: act as the escalation point for field performance, commissioning and troubleshooting issues, direct root cause investigations, approve corrective actions, and feed field learnings back into the product design.

Ensure the safety case for the product line is engineered in, not added on: operator exposure to cyanide solutions, mercury and hydrogen evolution is designed out through automation, containment and ventilation. Travel to customer sites as required for critical technical issues, commissioning support, performance audits and customer technical reviews. Actively promote collaboration within the engineering team and with SBL, Product Management, Operations, Sourcing and the Salt Lake City process team.

Provide engineering support and governance to the proposal and execution teams of the product line, including review of customer specifications, process design reviews, HAZOPs and optimization of technical solutions. Provide technical support to the leadership team and regional sales teams as required, and serve as the primary engineering…
