Join a company that is passionately committed to the pursuit of a better world through positive change. With more than 70 years of business and technical expertise in mining, energy, and infrastructure, our 10,000 colleagues in 150 countries tirelessly work toward bettering the industries in which we operate. With practical solutions that are safe, innovative and sustainable, we think globally while acting locally. Are you looking for an opportunity to join a diverse group of professionals who are committed to remaining exceptional? We look forward to hearing from you.

If it isn't grown, it's mined. Our mining and metals teams help our clients to safely and sustainably mine the minerals and metals used in our everyday lives. Want to play a part of innovating and optimizing the mining life cycle on greenfield and brownfield facilities? Apply today!

As part of our Metals team, you will contribute to projects that support the global energy transition - working across commodities such as lithium, rare earths, copper, gold, green steel and alumina. This role offers the opportunity to be involved in technically complex projects that are shaping the future of the minerals industry. We are seeking a Specialist Pyrometallurgical Engineer who is ready to step into a more influential role, combining strong technical capability with leadership, client engagement, and the ability to guide project outcomes from early-stage studies through to delivery.

In this role, you will:

  • Lead process engineering activities across the full project lifecycle, from concept studies to detailed design and commissioning support
  • Take ownership of key deliverables and contribute to technical decision-making across multidisciplinary teams
  • Manage early-stage studies, including concept and pre-feasibility, with a focus on process development and optimisation
  • Design and optimise metallurgical flowsheets for both greenfield and brownfield projects
  • Conduct trade-off studies to support value-driven engineering decisions
  • Develop process models using tools such as METSIM or SysCAD to optimise performance
  • Prepare process design documentation, including calculations, specifications, and equipment data sheets
  • Support client engagement, contribute to proposals, and mentor junior engineers

About You

You will have experience working in a consulting, EPCM, or operational environment within the minerals processing or metallurgical industry, with strong technical capability in pyrometallurgy. Knowledge of hydrometallurgy and minerals processing will also be valuable. You bring experience working with a range of commodities such as lithium, nickel, copper, gold, green steel or rare earths, along with proficiency in process simulation tools. With a degree in Chemical or Metallurgical Engineering, you demonstrate strong analytical thinking, clear communication skills, and the ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary teams. You are comfortable engaging with clients, contributing to studies, and are either working towards or have achieved professional chartership.

Why join us?
