Own the plant. Own the strategy. Own the partnership.
Pembroke produces high-quality steelmaking coal for international markets.
At the heart of this production is the performance of our CHPP.
This role has the mandate to be the technical steward of metallurgical performance and coal quality, and the person who makes sure our processing contract with our CHPP Contractor delivers on safety, KPIs and cost, enabling delivery to our customers.
This isn't a narrow operations role.
You'll move between hands-on troubleshooting today and the long-term process engineering strategy that keeps us ahead of mine life planning, with a direct line to executive leadership on the capital decisions that follow.
- What you'll get your hands on
- Reflux bypass work to lift fine coal recovery
- A sieve bend aperture increase to improve the fines/ultrafine split — better recovery, better ash control
- Longer-term projects on the horizon: a secondary fines circuit and plant debottlenecking
- What you'll own
- Metallurgical performance and coal quality across the CHPP including yield, throughput, product to steelmaking spec
- Operating and maintaining CHPP contractor relationship with responsibility for chairing performance reviews, holding the line on KPIs, safety and cost, without losing the partnership
- Root cause analysis and cross-functional response on major process incidents
- Process engineering strategy, technology evaluation and capital planning for the life of the mine
- Pembroke's voice at industry forums and with regulators
- What you'll bring
- 10+ years’ industry experience supported by a degree in Metallurgical or Process Engineering (RPEQ preferred)
- Deep CHPP experience in a coking or steelmaking coal environment
- A track record managing a major operating or maintenance contract — KPI governance and contractor performance, not just technical delivery
- The judgment to be firm with a contractor and still run a genuine operating partnership
- Confidence briefing executives, regulators and industry peers
