A dynamic organisation based on the East Rand is looking for an experienced Process Engineer to work within the mining industry, with a focus on original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and mining work. The role calls for at least five years of process engineering experience in mining, and it will suit an engineer who is comfortable turning test work and plant data into practical, reliable process solutions.
About the company and the work
The vacancy is advertised by Fusion Personnel for a permanent, management-level position based in Primrose. The employer is described as a dynamic organisation on the East Rand, and the work sits at the meeting point of engineering design, plant performance and client support: the successful candidate will provide technical input into projects, verify process information, and support both operations and sales teams with sound engineering judgement.
Because the role covers OEM and mining work, it involves a mix of office-based design and documentation work and engagement with clients, suppliers and multidisciplinary teams. The listing states that the position includes various benefits, without giving further detail.
Role details and duties
The Process Engineer will provide technical input into capital and operating cost estimates, performance guarantees and technical sections of project work. A central duty is verifying client process data, feed characteristics and design assumptions, and identifying gaps in the information provided so that designs rest on checked facts rather than assumptions.
The role also involves maintaining a controlled library of process models, assumptions and equipment data for use across projects, and planning and interpreting metallurgical test work, including sample preparation, test execution and data capture. The engineer will support the evaluation of new technologies and products through technical feasibility assessments, provide technical support to the sales team throughout the sales process from opportunity identification onwards, update process design documentation to reflect approved changes made during commissioning, and make sure final process documentation and technical information are accurately handed over to the relevant parties.
Some of the listing wording is cut off in the source view, so readers should check the original advert for the complete wording of these duties.
Requirements
Only the requirements stated in the listing are set out here. Applicants need a BEng or BSc degree in Chemical, Metallurgical or Mineral Process Engineering, or an equivalent qualification, together with a minimum of 5 years of process engineering experience within the mining industry. A valid driver’s licence and own reliable vehicle are required.
Registration with ECSA as a Professional Engineer (Pr Eng) or Professional Engineering Technologist (Pr Tech Eng) will be advantageous. Experience in planning and interpreting metallurgical test work, with exposure to pilot or test plant work, is required, while experience in plant operations, commissioning or process audits will be advantageous. Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, proficiency in the Microsoft Office Suite and experience with process modelling tools are also listed, along with strong communication and presentation skills and the ability to engage confidently with clients and other stakeholders.
The listing also highlights skills and competencies including strong analytical, problem-solving and technical assessment skills, excellent attention to detail and a commitment to quality and accuracy, the ability to interpret technical data and translate findings into practical process solutions, strong planning, organisational and project coordination skills, effective communication and presentation abilities, and the ability to work collaboratively with clients, suppliers and multidisciplinary teams.
