The opportunity

Mipac is seeking an experienced Senior Metallurgist to join our optimisation team based in our Perth office. We are ideally looking for someone who has worked at the level of Senior Process Engineer or Superintendent and is keen to apply their process analytics and optimisation skills to deliver holistic solutions.

You will take advantage of our unique remote optimisation and deployment approach that enables greater site-life harmony whilst still allowing you to get your hands dirty from time-to-time. You will contribute a processing perspective to a multi-disciplinary team of Designers, Instrumentation & Control System Engineers and System Specialists to apply fit-for-purpose automation, control and digital solutions that create value for our clients.

On a day-to-day basis, you’ll be providing a range of services to our clients, most of whom are in the mining and mineral processing space which can include any of the following:

  • Met accounting
  • Discovery audits
  • Control strategy changes
  • Commissioning and tuning
  • Process information reviews

Your responsibilities will involve you:

  • Engaging with customers as a client advocate to understand their operational problems and opportunities.
  • Undertaking potential assessments to calculate the expected return on investment (ROI).
  • Applying your operational experience to develop integrated solutions that span all layers of the automation pyramid to holistically solve client problems.
  • Collaborating with Designers, Instrumentation & Control System Engineers and Production System Specialists to design, specify, deploy and sustain advanced process control solutions.
  • Providing remote and onsite troubleshooting and technical support.
  • Remaining at the forefront of process control technology and innovation.
  • Optimising and maintaining Mipac’s remote optimisation portal for client knowledge capture and value tracking.
  • Potentially being called upon to mentor colleagues or provide expert advice on a bid, proposal or other business development activity.

About you

  • Degree in Metallurgy, Process, or Chemical Engineering with exposure to Process Control (post-graduate study preferred).
  • 7+ years of experience in a metallurgical environment with process control, metallurgical accounting, and production reporting (concentrator experience required; hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, and utilities experience would be highly regarded).
  • International and consulting experience across various operations and commodities preferred.
  • Ability to balance competing priorities and business drivers across the operational value chain.
  • Experience in designing robust process control strategies.
  • Solid understanding of Windows OS, process dynamics, mathematics, simulation, and technical computing.
  • Advanced knowledge of production systems (AVEVA PI preferred), including modelling and simulation.
  • Excellent analytical, troubleshooting, and communication skills, with strong client-facing rapport.

Benefits

At Mipac, we see our people as our most valuable asset and are committed to ensuring our staff feel safe, secure and comfortable, are given continuous learning opportunities and feel valued. That’s why we offer:

  • Competitive salaries with an annual bonus payment
  • An opportunity to work on exciting and diverse projects nationally and internationally
