Your Next Challenge

Reporting to the Metallurgy Superintendent of Technical Services, your role is split between project work and coordination of the metallurgical laboratory. You will work closely with other metallurgists and technicians as part of a multidisciplinary team focused on technical support and project development. You will ensure the proper functioning of the laboratory (managing human, material, technological, financial, and informational resources).

The group’s work is divided into two main categories, both supported by laboratory activities:

- Project development, such as studies of satellite zones of an operation, assessments of the company’s exploration portfolio potential (at various levels, including economic analyses, PEA and PFS), as well as evaluations of external mining prospects for potential acquisition;

- Operational support.

Using your technical knowledge and experience, you will propose value‑added solutions to optimize the economic value of project developments. You will participate in the development of new technologies in collaboration with research institutes and act as a facilitator for their implementation at sites that may benefit from them. Your contribution to operational support will also allow you to build business relationships and mentor metallurgists across various divisions.
