Process Engineer

Role Description:

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Process Engineer with a background in

mineral processing or metallurgical engineering. The ideal candidate will play a

crucial role in optimizing mineral beneficiation processes, improving operational

efficiency, and ensuring product quality and environmental compliance across

mineral processing plants or pilot-scale units. Candidate's exposure to base metal

processing will be highly appreciated.

Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and optimize mineral processing flowsheets (e.g., crushing, screening, grinding, flotation, magnetic separation, HMS/DMS, etc.)
• Analyse ore characteristics and interpret mineral data to support process design and performance tuning
• Work closely with operations teams to identify bottlenecks and improve recovery rates, throughput, and energy efficiency
• Monitor daily plant performance metrics and troubleshoot process-related issues
• Assist in commissioning, testing, and scale-up of new processing equipment and technologies
• Prepare and maintain mass balances, process control documents, and technical reports
• Collaborate with geologists, metallurgists, mining engineers, and R&D teams on process development initiatives
• Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and environmental regulations
• Stay updated on new technologies, process innovations, and industry trends

Requirements:

• Strong understanding of unit operations used in mineral beneficiation and refining
• Familiarity with mineralogy and ore behaviour in processing contexts
• Experience using process simulation software (e.g., METSIM, HSC Chemistry, JKSimMet) is an asset
• Knowledge of safety standards and environmental compliance in mineral processing plants
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
• Ability to work in cross-functional teams and adapt to field or plant environments

Qualification/ Experience:

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Mineral Processing, Metallurgical Engineering, Geology, or Chemical Engineering
• 3–6 years of hands-on experience in a mineral processing or extractive metallurgy environment

Preferred Skills:

• Experience in process commissioning, debottlenecking, or optimization projects
• Working knowledge of data acquisition and control systems (PLC, SCADA)
• Understanding of geometallurgy and its application in process design
• Exposure to pilot plant trials or laboratory-scale mineral testing
