Experienced Process Operator

Depending on your experience and allocated plant area, your responsibilities may include:

• Operating and monitoring fixed plant processing equipment
• Completing regular plant inspections and field rounds
• Monitoring operating parameters and identifying abnormal plant conditions
• Starting, stopping and monitoring process equipment in accordance with procedures
• Responding to alarms, trips, blockages and process disruptions
• Monitoring pumps, valves, tanks, pipelines, conveyors and associated infrastructure
• Adjusting plant conditions to maintain safe and stable production
• Working between field-based operations and plant control systems
• Supporting crushing, milling, flotation, tantalum recovery and dewatering circuits
• Preparing and monitoring reagent systems
• Supporting paste plant and associated pumping operations
• Identifying equipment faults and communicating issues to maintenance teams
• Completing isolations and following site lock-out/tag-out requirements
• Conducting housekeeping to maintain safe and efficient work areas
• Completing shift handovers and accurately recording plant performance and operational issues
• Working closely with processing, maintenance and control room teams
• Following site safety procedures, risk assessments and environmental requirements
• Contributing to continuous improvement and improvements in plant reliability, recovery and throughput

This isn't simply a general fixed plant position. It provides exposure to a broad and technically complex mineral processing circuit, with operators developing experience across multiple stages of production.

For experienced Process Operators, it is an opportunity to build broader capability across crushing, milling, tantalum, flotation, dewatering, paste, reagents, dry plant control and wet plant control, while working within a modern WA processing operation.
