    • Plant Operations Management:
      • Oversee daily operations to ensure production goals are met, managing process control and optimization to maximize lithium yield and product quality.
      • Monitor and analyze key performance indicators (KPIs) to identify areas for improvement and initiate corrective actions as needed.
      • Lead the processing team, providing guidance, training, and mentorship to process engineers, operators, and support staff.
    • Safety and Environmental Compliance:
      • Establish and enforce safety protocols and procedures in compliance with local regulations and company policies, conducting regular safety audits and risk assessments.
      • Ensure environmental controls are in place to minimize impact, manage waste, and meet environmental standards.
      • Promote a strong safety culture, proactively identifying and mitigating potential hazards.

    Requirements:

    • Education: Bachelors degree in Chemical Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Mineral Processing, or a related field. A Masters degree is a plus.
    • Experience: Minimum of 10 years of experience in mineral processing, with at least 3 years in a managerial role overseeing plant commissioning, start-up, or operational management, ideally within lithium or battery metals processing.
    • Technical Skills:
      • Strong expertise in process control, plant commissioning, and operations management.
      • Proficiency in process engineering software, as well as data analysis tools for performance monitoring and troubleshooting.
      • Experience with lithium processing technologies, such as crushing, grinding, flotation, magnetic separation, etc.
    • Leadership Skills: Proven ability to lead a team, with a focus on safety, motivation, and high performance in a remote, challenging environment.
