AngloGold Ashanti Limited (AGA) is one of the world's largest gold producer with operations and projects on four continents. This globally diverse, world-class portfolio is supported by focused exploration in the established and new gold producing regions of the world. In Australia the company operates the Sunrise Dam (100%) and Tropicana (AGA 70% and manager, Regis Resources 30%) gold mines, which jointly produce approximately 600,000oz per annum. AGA is a values-driven company and offers a working environment that allows every employee to contribute, learn and flourish.

We are seeking people with little or no experience in mineral processing who are eager to participate in an intensive traineeship program to become qualified Process Technicians with AngloGold Ashanti Australia.

The program will include on-the-job training and an in-depth overview of all aspects of processing. Individuals completing this training will obtain the nationally recognised certificate III in Resource Processing. Upon successful completion of the training component of the program, Process Technicians will be placed at Tropicana Gold Mine.

These roles are initially based on an 8 and 6 FIFO roster with direct flights from Perth and Kalgoorlie to Tropicana Gold Mine.

About the Role

Process Technicians are part of the operations team within the Processing Department and is responsible for the effective and safe operation of plant equipment in order to produce gold.

Process Trainees will work in teams of 6 technicians reporting to a supervisor. The journey starts by learning the process flow in each section of the plant to develop skills for identifying and rectifying problems to minimise impact to overall production. A series of key checks are performed regularly across the sections to ensure the process remains within the established set points provided by the metallurgy team. When repairs to equipment are required the team will plan to stop the equipment safely and remove all stored energy before isolating and locking it out for the maintenance team to work on.
