[Hiring] Mining Technology Lead @Intellisense

Role Description

Are you the metallurgist everyone calls when the plant is not performing, and ready to lead how AI runs it?

• Own implementation, commissioning and value delivery across all our Plant customer sites.
• Be the metallurgical authority for crushing, grinding, flotation, leaching, thickening and other circuits, so that our AI reflects how each plant really behaves.
• Prove the value we deliver with sound, data-driven baselines that customers trust, and use them to secure renewals.
• Lead, coach and grow a team of Mining Technology Engineers across several sites.
• Work with our agentic AI engineers to automate site rollout and service work.
• Bring site feedback into our product roadmap.
• Support our account teams in winning more sites and more products with existing customers.

Qualifications

• Substantial hands-on experience as a metallurgist or process engineer at an operating mineral processing plant, with ownership of circuit performance.
• Improvements you have delivered and can measure: recovery, throughput, reagent use or stability, backed by mass balancing and metallurgical accounting.
• Experience taking a technology, process-control or optimisation solution through to commissioning and everyday use.
• Experience leading or developing engineers, and running work across more than one site or project.
• The credibility to work with plant managers and general managers on value and renewals.
• Fluent English and willingness to travel regularly to customer sites up to 50% of the time.

Requirements

• Fluent Arabic (a strong advantage for a Saudi Arabia-based hire).
• Mining experience in Saudi Arabia or the wider GCC.
• Data skills (e.g. Python, plant historians, LIMS) and exposure to advanced process control, digital twins or AI.
• Commercial experience in renewals, expansions or pre-sales.
• Professional registration (e.g. CEng, IOM3, AusIMM or the Saudi Council of Engineers).

Benefits

• A competitive salary and benefits package benchmarked to your location.
• Remote-first, flexible working.
• Real ownership of a market in a fast-growing industrial AI company, and the chance to shape our presence in Saudi Arabia.
