Graduate Mining Analytics Engineering Consultant (Hybrid)

Location

Lancaster, Lancashire | United Kingdom

Job description

Mine Tech Services (MTS) is a rapidly growing UK-based mining consultancy and a partner company of SRK Consulting. Founded in 2014, our mission is to help mines optimize their operations through the use of technology and data. With projects across the Americas, Europe, Africa and CIS, we have built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality solutions that bring significant results for our clients. Consequently, MTS is well-positioned for significant growth over the coming years.

We are looking for a motivated, self-starter to join our growing team. 

This will be a diverse and interesting technical position in a rapidly evolving sector. The role would involve working with a broad range of people from Mine Managers and Engineers to Software Developers and Data Scientists. It will have a significant focus on the use of mining technology and data, and can be broken down into three broad remits:

• Mine Site Studies: Assist with on-site analysis to identify and quantify an operation’s unique challenges, and to provide recommendations on how they can be overcome.
• Implementation of Mining Technology: Assist mines in measuring, managing and addressing these challenges (ranging from software and solution deployments through to change management and mentoring sessions). 
• Effective Data Visualisations: Develop and deploy appropriate and robust data visualisations (PowerBI and Tableau) to enable a site to manage specific challenges on an ongoing basis.

Training and mentoring will be provided to develop the individual’s technical expertise as required.

Requirements

Qualifications: 

We are looking for a graduate or recent graduate with a mining-related or computer science-related degree containing some aspects of the following areas;

• Mining, Geotechnical or Geological Engineering

• You are a good communicator - both written and oral.
• You are a good listener (there is a consultancy element to the role).
• You are able to frequently travel globally depending on project requirements.

Locations: 

Although we are based in the North West of the UK, the role will provide the opportunity to travel significantly to remote and diverse corners of the globe. Recent projects include:

• South America: Mining optimisation (including load and haul, drill and blast, ore control, fuel optimisation, asset maintenance).
• Africa: Mining technology implementations for a large equipment manufacturer.
• North America: Large enterprise rollouts of mining continuous improvement projects.
• Central Asia: Field follow and testing of new software solutions for a large mining consultancy.
