SUMMARY:

Process Engineer | Mining & Mineral Processing

What if your next role didn't stop at process design?
What if you could influence projects before they're awarded, shape the technical solution, secure the business, and ultimately see your design operating successfully in the field?
Our client is seeking a commercially minded Process Engineer who enjoys operating where engineering, problem-solving, and business strategy intersect. This is an opportunity for an engineer who understands that the best solutions are not only technically sound, but commercially viable and capable of delivering measurable value to clients.

What You'll Be Responsible For Evaluating client enquiries and determining technical feasibility Developing Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) and Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) Performing process calculations and equipment sizing Preparing technical proposals and commercial tenders Building and maintaining strong client relationships Managing technical clarifications, design revisions, and negotiations Supporting commissioning activities and troubleshooting plant performance challenges Facilitating seamless project handovers to execution teams Who We're Looking For You are more than a Process Engineer.

Requirements BEng Chemical Engineering Minimum 5 years' experience in process design, proposals engineering, or technical sales within the mining industry Strong understanding of metallurgical processes, process engineering principles, flowsheets, and instrumentation diagrams Proven ability to manage multiple tenders and deadlines simultaneously Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving capabilities Valid driver's license and own transport Willingness to travel to mine sites when required Why Consider This Opportunity? For the engineer who wants more than desk-based design work, this role offers the chance to directly influence business growth, engage with industry leaders, and contribute to projects that have a tangible impact on mining and mineral processing operations.
