Job Description
We are looking for a Process Engineer to manage and optimize our copper electrolytic refining (tankhouse) operations, converting copper anodes into LME Grade A copper cathodes. This is a copper metallurgy role — not oil & gas refining. The position involves monitoring refinery performance, ensuring cathode quality, improving current efficiency, and supporting continuous process improvements. Requirements

Key Responsibilities
• Monitor and optimize electrolytic refining operations.
• Ensure production of LME Grade A copper cathodes meeting quality specifications.
• Monitor electrolyte chemistry including copper concentration, sulfuric acid, chloride, arsenic, nickel, and impurity levels.
• Optimize current density, voltage, and current efficiency.
• Coordinate cathode harvesting, starter sheet handling, and anode replacement schedules.
• Investigate process deviations affecting cathode quality and production.
• Work closely with laboratory personnel for electrolyte analysis and process control.




• Develop and implement process improvement initiatives to reduce energy consumption and operating costs.
• Support commissioning, startup, and process optimization activities.
• Coordinate with maintenance teams to maximize equipment availability.
• Prepare daily production reports and process performance analyses.
• Ensure compliance with HSE policies and statutory regulations. Requirements
• Bachelor’s Degree in Metallurgical, Chemical, Materials, or Process Engineering.
• 5–10 years of experience in copper electrorefining, SX-EW, or non-ferrous refinery operations.
• Strong understanding of:
• Electrolytic copper refining
• Electrochemistry
• Electrolyte purification
• Cathode quality control
• Current efficiency optimization
• Process instrumentation and DCS/SCADA systems
• Experience in troubleshooting refinery process issues.
• Knowledge of LME Grade A copper quality standards.
• Familiarity with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and Occupational Health & Safety standards.
• Solid analytical, leadership, and communication skills. Apply Now
