Design and conduct plant trials and metallurgical test work that produce statistically valid data and communicate results to stakeholders in the correct reporting format.

Support commissioning and ramp-up, including reagent regime optimisation, water chemistry interpretation and circuit tuning.

Partner with external consultants, laboratories and engineering providers on test work programs and circuit improvement initiatives.
