About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in Mineral Processing, Metallurgical, or Chemical Engineering, or a closely related field, is required.
  • Three to five years of total experience in mineral processing is required; experience as a plant metallurgist or in a similar operations-facing process role is strongly preferred.
  • Working knowledge of comminution circuits, slurry transport, and plant performance metrics is required.
  • Experience with gravity concentration circuits is an asset; experience with Knelson concentrators is ideal.
  • Hands-on experience planning and running plant surveys, sampling, and mass balancing is required, along with strong data analysis skills in Excel.
  • Comfort working with process data, instrumentation, and digital monitoring platforms is required.
  • A working understanding of slurry pumps, hydrocyclones, valves, and gravity concentrators from an operational perspective is required; hands-on mechanical expertise is not required.
  • Ability to work independently and communicate clearly with plant metallurgists, operators, and sales teams is required.
  • Comfort with frequent travel, expected at 50% to 75% across Canada, is required.
  • Fluency in English is mandatory.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the technical process resource for Sales and Site Support on grinding, classification, gravity concentration, and slurry transport circuits.
  • Diagnose performance issues and recommend operating and equipment changes that improve throughput, recovery, and wear life.
  • Plan and execute plant surveys and sampling campaigns, including particle size analysis, density and flow measurement, and mass balancing, to establish baseline performance and quantify the impact of improvements.
  • Use FLSmidth proprietary software to perform cyclone simulations, pump sizing, and circuit modeling in support of proposals, upgrades, and troubleshooting.
  • Validate simulation results against field data and feed learnings back to product line and applications engineering.
  • Support commissioning of new PCV and Knelson installations from a process standpoint, confirming that equipment is operating to design.
  • Lead process-side troubleshooting of issues such as cyclone roping, bypass, poor separation, and pump-cyclone mismatch, working alongside Field Service Engineers on mechanical items.
  • Support deployment, configuration, and customer adoption of Krebs OSA and other PCV digital and monitoring products.
  • Interpret data generated by digital tools and translate it into actionable recommendations for site teams.
  • Support Knelson gravity concentrator applications, including gravity recoverable gold assessment, circuit design review, performance audits, and optimization of existing installations.
  • Partner with the sales team to identify upgrade and competitor-displacement opportunities, build technical value cases backed by survey and simulation data, and support technical proposals and customer presentations.
  • Deliver process-focused training to plant metallurgists and operators on the performance, operation, and optimization of PCV products and digital tools.
  • Prepare clear, professional survey, commissioning, and site reports documenting findings and recommendations.
  • Share field learnings with Site Support, Applications Engineering, and product line teams.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience as a plant metallurgist or in a similar operations-facing process role is strongly preferred.
  • Experience with gravity concentration circuits, ideally Knelson concentrators, is a strong asset.
  • Experience with process modeling software such as JK Sim is preferred.
  • Experience with online analytics or process control systems is a plus.
  • Additional fluency in French is preferred.

About the Company

FLSmidth

Mining and cement engineering, equipment, services

FLSmidth delivers engineering, equipment, and service solutions for the global mining and cement industries. Its products include heavy machinery, system designs, and ongoing maintenance and optimization services that help customers run mines and cement plants more efficiently. The company is moving toward a service-driven model, expanding its digital offerings and strengthening its manufacturing and supply chain to support faster, data-driven maintenance, spare-parts logistics, and plant optimization. It is differentiating itself through a focused portfolio strategy that includes separating its Mining and Cement divisions and divesting non-core assets, such as the Air Pollution Control business, while pursuing a pure-play approach in its core areas. The goal is to improve profitability by concentrating on core businesses, simplifying operations, and growing recurring service revenue and digital solutions across its global footprint.
