• Lead improvement initiatives and capital projects, ensuring results stick in the field.

What You’ll Need To Be Successful!

• Demonstrated experience in a mining or chemical processing operation coupled with a bachelor’s degree in engineering (mining, chemical, mechanical, industrial, etc.).
• You must be a self-starter who can work independently, while remaining humble and coachable.
• Ability to balance intellectual design with “hands on” field execution.
• You must be comfortable shifting between a climate-controlled office and rugged industrial field locations.
