Laboratory Technician

  • 3-month contract
  • 8/6 FIFO from Perth (days and nights)
  • Commencing asap
We are currently seeking up to 4 Laboratory / Metallurgical Technicians to support a gold processing operation in Western Australia on a 3-month contract.

These roles have been created to assist with increased plant sampling and diagnostic work following the commissioning of a new leach tank circuit within the processing plant. Successful candidates will work alongside the site metallurgical team and report to the Senior Metallurgists.

Key responsibilities:
  • Conduct plant sampling across the processing circuit
  • Perform sample preparation and laboratory test work
  • Carry out bottle roll tests, screen sizing and batch flotation tests
  • Assist with on-site laboratory analysis and metallurgical test work
  • Potential involvement in routine instrument servicing and maintenance (e.g. cyanide analysers, pH and dissolved oxygen probes).
Ideal background:
  • Previous laboratory or metallurgical technician experience in a processing plant
  • Strong background in plant sampling and laboratory sample preparation
  • Experience with metallurgical test work highly regarded
  • Ability to work safely in a fast-paced gold processing environment.
This is a great opportunity to join a well-established gold operation and support the optimisation of a newly commissioned processing circuit.

If you are available for upcoming contract work and have relevant processing plant laboratory experience, we would like to hear from you.

Unfortunately, MPI Recruitment are only able to consider people with appropriate and relevant experience, and who are either Australian Permanent Residents or have the necessary permits to work in Australia and whom are currently in Australia.
