Descripción del empleo
About the role
Barrick Mining Corporation is seeking a Lead Process Engineer to lead and integrate process engineering and metallurgical work for the El Alto Project. The role supports the Pre-Feasibility Study, subsequent study phases, project execution and operational readiness.
The role is the project focal point for process design, metallurgical test work, GeoMet integration, flowsheet development, design criteria, mass and water balances, equipment selection, process risk management and technical interfaces. A primary objective is to support the PFS with representative, auditable and sufficiently mature metallurgical and process data, and build critical information requirements into drilling and sampling programs before available drilling windows are lost.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to Barrick Mining Corporation's safety culture and programs, while encouraging and ensuring others do the same.
- Act as the lead process engineering authority within the El Alto project team, owning the technical quality of processing deliverables through scoping, PFS, FS and execution planning.
- Own and maintain the process basis of design, Process Design Criteria, process flowsheets, mass and water balances, equipment list and major process design assumptions.
- Lead the formal metallurgical, process, mineralogical and GeoMet gap assessment against PFS requirements, and maintain a data-gap register showing required information, owner, due date and study impact.
- Define information and sample requirements for the current drilling campaign with Geology, GeoMet, Mine Planning and Drilling, so metallurgical requirements are built into drilling plans before scope is finalised.
- Develop and own the integrated metallurgical test work programme, including master composite and variability strategies, QA/QC and laboratory selection, and translate results into design criteria and recovery.
Datos clave
