**About the role**

Finding better ways to provide the materials the world needs.

We are looking for an **Advisor Technology Development** to support the programmes aimed at testing different ores and developing the Nuton technologies to improve unit processes and the design of modules that are Nuton process specific. This will encompass test programmes at Bundoora and other partner laboratories.

NutonTM is an innovative new venture that aims to help grow Rio Tinto’s copper business. At the core of NutonTM is a portfolio of proprietary copper leach related technologies and capability - a product of almost 30 years of research and development. The NutonTM technology offers the potential to economically unlock known low-grade copper sulphide resources, copper bearing waste and tailings, and achieve higher copper recoveries on primary copper sulphide material, allowing for a significantly increased copper production outcome. One of the key differentiators of NutonTM is the potential to deliver leading environmental performance, including more efficient water usage, lower carbon emissions, and the ability to reclaim mine sites by reprocessing mine waste.

- Plan and schedule Nuton laboratory and pilot plant testwork programmes, both at the Bundoora Technical Development Centre (BTDC) and at external commercial laboratories; testing ore samples sourced from partner ore bodies, for their amenability to the Nuton primary copper sulphide leach technology and to support the further development of the Nuton technologies.
- Lead small projects (responsible for quality, HSE, schedule and budget)
- Design experiments and methods
- Interpret results and link results to technical theory
- Have an uncompromising focus on data quality and attention to detail
- Prepare reports/memorandums detailing findings and recommendations
- Present results and recommendations.

**What you’ll bring**

- A tertiary qualification in Chemical, Metallurgical or Minerals Processing Engineering
- A minimum of 2-3 years of processing, chemistry or hydrometallurgical related work experience in the mining or engineering industry.
