  • 6+ years' experience in mechanical design, construction, or operation of base‑metal concentrators or large‑scale process plants.

  • Proven ability to manage installation, alignment, and commissioning of process plant systems.
  • Experience working in EPCM or owner's team environments on major mining projects.
  • Skilled in AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or 3D model review tools for mechanical design validation.
  • Excellent communication, problem‑solving, and leadership abilities, with a proactive and safety‑focused approach.
  • Preferred Skills

  • Experience in large‑scale mining projects.
  • Familiarity with industry standards and regulations.
