• Lead and manage a team of process engineers on allocated projects, where required.
• Liaise with other engineering disciplines and project staff to ensure optimal outcomes for clients and project delivery.

• Strong capability in flow sheet development, experience and competency with LIMn model development are desirable.
• Strong capability in interpreting large datasets and undertaking historical trend analysis including statistical analysis.
• On site plant commissioning experience is highly desirable, particularly in iron ore wet plant environments. This role may require time on site to support process plant commissioning and performance verification.
