Process Plant Operator

POSITION OBJECTIVES

New CIC Plant Operator is responsible for operating the three carbon adsorption systems. The system consists of three circuits, one containing 6 columns filled with 6 tons of carbon each, the second unit consisting of 5 columns with 3 tons of carbon in each column and a third unit consisting of 4 columns with 3 tons of carbon in each column. Two Pregnant solution or gold bearing solution pumps distribute solution upward through the columns through a perforated diffuser plate that gently lifts and expands the carbon bed. Overflow from #1 c/c flows by gravity into the bottom of #2 c/c and travels similarly down to c/c #6 or c/c #5. Gold from the Pregnant solution adsorbs on to the carbon in each column. By the time the solution overflows the final column, essentially all the gold has been removed, making it Barren solution. The now screened barren solution flows by gravity to the barren sump. This is where cyanide or is added. Three barren pumps then pump the cyanide treated solution back to the Leach Pad. On a regular schedule, 6 or 3 tons of loaded carbon is removed from the #1 column in a circuit for stripping based on Mesquite Laboratory testing. An equal amount of lesser loaded carbon is advanced in sequence up the circuit and regenerated carbon is transferred to the last column. The operator must maintain target Pregnant and Barren solution flows and constantly make changes to achieve these targets. Operator is also responsible for taking various samples, totalizer readings, assisting/overseeing cyanide truck mixing and offloading into holding tanks. The operator will work around chemicals such as caustic, cyanide, anti-scalant, and SLS45 under minimal supervision where the primary objective is safe production. The operator is responsible for conducting work area inspections on every shift and noting any deficiency or nonworking parts of the system. Operator will be expected to learn and follow all safe procedures, use hand tools, operate small equipment, troubleshoot potential issues, and complete any Plant related activities directed by Supervisor. Operator is expected to document and be proficient in Microsoft Word/Excel to log daily shift data. Operator will work closely with other team members and departments to maintain a clean, safe, and productive work area.
