  • Contributing to reviewing, developing and maintaining QA/QC polices for the collection, testing and analysis of samples, ensuring proper chain of custody.

  • Developing experimental programmes to support process engineering design activities.

  • Producing technical memoranda, progress reports and technical report sections for key Project phases.

  • Undertaking sample collection, sample preparation, drying, filtration, splitting, crushing, pulverising, pelletising, pXRF testing.

What we ask you in return:
