Mineral Processing Engineer

Required Work Experience

• 1-3 years of relevant experience in mineral processing, process engineering, process control or a related engineering field.
• Practical exposure to grinding, classification and/or flotation circuits through industry, internships, plant studies or engineering projects.
• Experience working with process data, process optimisation and control strategies, including basic PID or rule-based control.
• Experience using Python and/or MATLAB for data analysis, modelling or engineering applications.
• Experience to mineral processing plant's operations, commissioning or site-based engineering activities is an advantage.
• Experience working in multidisciplinary engineering or project teams and translating process requirements into practical technical solutions.

About the role

We are looking for a Mineral Processing & Process Control Engineer to support the development, implementation and optimisation of process control solutions for mineral processing operations.

The role combines mineral processing, process data analysis and control engineering, with a focus on grinding, classification and flotation circuits. The successful candidate will contribute to engineering development and practical plant applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyse grinding, classification and flotation performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Support the development and optimisation of process control strategies.
• Develop, test and validate PID, rule-based and other control logic.
• Analyse plant and process data to identify trends, bottlenecks and optimisation opportunities.
• Use Python and/or MATLAB for data analysis, modelling and solution validation.
• Work with process and image-derived data for monitoring and control applications.
• Support mass balances, process data, I/O definitions and technical documentation.
• Participate in plant studies, commissioning activities and site visits.
• Work with engineers, project teams and clients to translate process requirements into practical solutions.
• Support testing, validation and implementation of control solutions in real plant environments.
• Contribute to technical reports, project deliverables and continuous improvement.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work on real-world mineral processing and optimisation projects.
• Exposure to international mining and mineral processing operations.
• A multidisciplinary environment combining process engineering, automation, data analysis and AI.
• Opportunities to participate in plant studies, commissioning and technical development.
• Opportunity to develop expertise in advanced process control and digitalisation of mineral processing operations.
