REFINING MANAGER | PEKAN NANAS

Key Responsibilities Laboratory Operations Management • Help with the set-up of our precious metals’ recovery and refining laboratory and systems. • Manage and supervise day-to-day recovery and refining operations, ensuring adherence to safety protocols, quality standards, and regulatory requirements. • Monitor and optimize the performance of recovery and refining processes, identifying opportunities for efficiency improvements and cost savings. • Collaborate with the laboratory team to develop and implement refining procedures that maximise precious metals recovery while minimising environmental impact. • Continuously evaluate and update equipment, technologies, and methods to enhance the recovery and refining process. • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including production, quality control, business development and marketing to resolve any analytical or quality related issues. • Maintain and calibrate (if necessary) laboratory equipment to ensure accurate and reliable results. • Ensure the development and implementation of quality control procedures, protocols and standard operating procedures (SOPs). • Document and maintain comprehensive and accurate records of laboratory experiments, results, and observations. • Organize and maintain operating data that can be used to predict and avoid future processing problems as the performance of the plant is refined over time. Quality Control and Analysis • Actively involved in the process of determining proportions of precious metals scraps. • Provide technical expertise, execution and recovery/ refining solutions by analysing materials and its data for accuracy and consistency. • Execute and validate analytical methods for the identification, quantification and characterisation of precious metals scraps including gold, silver, platinum, palladium and rhodium. • Determine the purity and composition of precious metals samples and compare them against established standards and regulations. • Oversee the quality control process, conduct regular inspections, and implement corrective actions as necessary to maintain product quality and purity. • Analyse and verify the precious metal content in various materials. Evaluate and interpret analytical data, ensuring accuracy and precision in measurements and reporting. • Inventory Management, Reporting and Accountability • Monitor and manage inventory levels of raw materials, chemicals, and consumables required for the recovery and refining processes. • Prepare regular reports, analyse production data, metal yields, costs, and trends, and present findings to the senior management. • Develop and implement inventory control measures to ensure accurate tracking and minimize losses. • Provide weekly reporting to senior management team on all recovery, refining and metallurgical process and/or test in progress. Compliance with Safety and Compliance with Local Regulatory • Develop safety awareness and safety culture. • Implement and enforce safety protocols, conduct regular safety training, and investigate and report incidents promptly. • Ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations related to recovery and refining processes, hazardous materials handling, and workplace safety. • Stay updated on industry trends, technological advancements, and regulatory changes relevant to the precious metals recovery and refining business. Training • Provide training, assessment and documentation for all refining, recovery and metallurgical work completed in support of the cross-function teams. • Mentor and train new lab personnel to further understand metallurgical methodology and application of processes.
