  • Support operational troubleshooting and develop clear instructions to help resolve recurring process issues.
  • Contribute to production planning, set process parameter goals in consultation with your supervisor and deliver technical training for operational teams.
  • Participate in process improvement teams to identify problems and develop practical solutions that optimise throughput, quality, equipment availability and production costs.
  • Provide technical input to capital projects, including scope definition, cost-benefit assessments and decision analysis.
  • Plan and implement plant-scale investigations with your supervisor, supported by laboratory and pilot-scale experimental work where required.

What’s on offer

  • Attractive remuneration and variable bonus plan.
  • Monday–Friday roster, allowing you to be home after each shift.
  • Employee growth and development opportunities.
  • One additional paid Alcoa Flexi Day.
  • My Alcoa Benefits program offering travel, lifestyle, health and wellbeing discounts.
  • Generous leave entitlements including a leisure a day off every 4-week period.

What you can bring to the role

  • A degree in Chemical Engineering or Metallurgy, or an equivalent qualification.
  • Experience in production and/or process control.
  • Bayer process experience is desirable.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical information clearly.
  • An analytical approach to troubleshooting and identifying practical process improvements.
  • A collaborative approach to working with operations, maintenance, engineering and laboratory teams.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
