The Deflector Gold Copper Processing Plant provides an unique combination of multi-mineral processing within a mill constrained environment. You will have the opportunity to work with multiple unit processes (primary milling, gravity recovery, flotation, concentrate dewatering, tails regrind, CIP, elution recovery) while also looking at opportunities for throughput improvement. With three mineralogically different ore bodies being treated through the process plant, you will provide metallurgy-based decision making to develop appropriate blending strategies. The high performing team on site has been able to achieve record recovery and throughputs since commissioning the CIP plant in 2021. _

- Plan, undertake and report on Metallurgical sampling, testwork and projects.
- Demonstrate safety leadership and accountability in the Plant.
- Engage with Process operators to improve their knowledge of the circuit.

**ABOUT YOU**

You are a talented, highly motivated individual with a hard-working attitude who wants to work within a team of likeminded metallurgists. You have a passion for Metallurgy and strive for continuous improvement and best practice in everything you do.

**You have**:

- Formal qualification in Metallurgy or related science
