Senior Technical Consultant

The Chrysos Commitment and Mission

Here at Chrysos we combine science and software to create technology solutions that are changing the global mining industry; both from a productivity and environmental impact perspective.

Just like atoms and machines, we believe that everyone is different and how individuals come together is what makes us successful. Headquartered in Adelaide and with team members based in Australia, Europe, Africa and North America, Chrysos Corporation’s diverse team of scientists, engineers and industry specialists are coming together to build technologies to provide rapid, accurate and safe ore analysis for the global mining industry.

The company’s flagship technology, PhotonAssay™, steps around centuries-old chemistry-based assay methods to deliver true ‘atom-counting’ analysis for the measurement of gold and other high-value metals. With successful global installations, Chrysos is taking PhotonAssay™ to customers around the world – Chrysos could take you to places that you might not have even imagined yet. There’s opportunity around every corner and the support to help you achieve your goals.

About The Role

The Technical Services team is part of the Chrysos Growth Team (GT) which also includes the Sales team and the Marketing team. Our strategic focus is the global deployment and adoption of PhotonAssay™ by gold mining companies. The three key pillars of the Technical Services team are customer partnering in mine site deployments, sales support and subject matter experts.

This role has a strong focus on the customer partnering pillar and combines deep technical engagement with strategic account support, internal knowledge transfer, and leadership in driving data quality, customer confidence, and continuous improvement.

Key Pillars And Objectives

Customer Partnering and Minesite deployment
