About the Role:

This role will lead transformation initiatives across beneficiation and ore processing operations, focusing on yield improvement, recovery optimization, and process stability. The role operates from COE and drives performance through analytics, governance, and process excellence not direct plant operations.

Role & Responsibilities:

Process Optimization
Improve Fe recovery, yield, and grade consistency
Optimize crushing, grinding, classification, and separation circuits
Reduce tailing losses and improve beneficiation efficiency

Throughput & Stability
Drive plant throughput vs design capacity
Reduce variability and process interruptions
Improve circuit balance (HPGR, ball mill, wet circuits, etc.)

Cost & Efficiency Improvement
Optimize power consumption, reagent usage, and water balance
Benchmark cost/ton vs industry

Quality Control
Ensure consistent feed quality to pellet/DRI plants




Monitor metallurgical performance (Fe %, gangue levels, recovery)

Governance & Analytics
Run structured performance reviews
Lead root cause analysis for yield losses
Build performance dashboards and KPIs

Cross-Functional Alignment
Align beneficiation output with mining variability
Interface with pellet/DRI teams for downstream optimization

Preferred Candidate Profile:
B.Tech/BE in Metallurgy/Mineral Processing /Chemical/Mechanical
MBA preferred
16 - 25 years of experience in iron ore beneficiation / pellet feed preparation
Exposure to pellet/DRI integration
Consulting/transformation experience

Success Metrics:
Yield improvement (%)
Fe recovery & grade consistency
Throughput vs capacity
Cost per ton processed
Reduction in process variability
