About the Role

 

Reporting to the Senior Metallurgist, this is a hands-on, lab-based role supporting processing plant performance.

 

The role involves maintaining lab equipment, completing sampling and test work, and making sure data is accurate and reliable to support plant outcomes.

 

It works closely with the processing team, with a mix of guidance and autonomy in managing day-to-day tasks.

• Experience with plant sampling and/or supporting metallurgical test work
• Confidence using Excel to capture, track and interpret data
