Are You Our Next Process Engineer?
We are currently seeking a Process Engineer to support our Florida Mining Operations. The Process Engineer will provide technical support focusing on optimizing plant performance, field operations, water & clay systems, or remote operation process support through the Integrated Operations Center (IOC). This role requires analytical problem-solving, collaboration with cross-functional teams, and adaptability to different engineering disciplines within the mining process. Engineers hired into this role may transition across these focus areas as business needs evolve, offering a well-rounded career path in process engineering.
What you’ll do?
Process Optimization & Troubleshooting:
Support operations with process engineering expertise, including pumping system and plant optimization, efficiency improvement, problem-solving, and prevention. Monitor and analyze process key performance indicators (KPIs) to optimize phosphate recovery, product quality, and operating efficiency across mining and beneficiation operations. Provide technical guidance to operations and maintenance teams to address process inefficiencies, upsets, and equipment reliability challenges. Conduct root cause analysis for process deviations and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
Process Control & Data Analytics:
Develop and implement process control strategies in collaboration with automation and instrumentation teams to enhance system stability and reliability. Utilize data analytics platforms to drive data-driven decision-making and improve performance tracking. Provide remote operation process support through the Integrated Operations Center (IOC), analyzing real-time data to proactively identify inefficiencies and recommend operational adjustments.
Chemical & Infrastructure Management:
Evaluate and support process chemical testing and changes, ensuring adherence to the management of change (MOC) process. Collaborate with operations to anticipate infrastructure changes and design efficient matrix pumping and slurry transport systems. Work with mining operations to optimize ore recovery strategies, dragline performance, and cutwater management to align with plant process capabilities. Support water balance management, clay settling area design and maintenance, and compliance with environmental water management requirements.
Capital Projects & Continuous Improvement:
Provide front-end engineering development of capital projects, including planning, identifying business objectives, evaluating options, preliminary design development, and risk mitigation assessment. Oversee commissioning and start-up support for assigned projects. Conduct field studies and leverage real-time data analytics to identify bottlenecks, improve operational efficiency, and drive continuous improvement initiatives
.
Operational Leadership & Collaboration:
Act as a liaison between operations and process engineering to ensure alignment on performance targets and operational priorities. Lead and facilitate weekly KPI and action item meetings with operations, maintenance, and automation teams. Support mock inspections, safety audits, and initiatives that improve process safety, energy efficiency, and overall operational excellence.
Safety & Environmental Compliance:
Ensure site safety and environmental standards are followed through safety audits, risk assessments, and housekeeping tours. Be vigilant of issues and conditions that may affect fellow workers, reporting any environmental or safety concerns.
This role requires a strong technical background in mining and beneficiation processes, problem-solving skills, and the ability to work collaboratively with operations, maintenance, and engineering teams to drive continuous improvement and operational excellence.
