Overview

Responsibilities:
  • Carefully operate smelting furnaces, control temperatures, add the right fluxes, prepare crucibles and molds, and pour doré bars to high standards so the gold bars come out clean and correct
  • Clean and prepare precipitates from the Merrill-Crowe process, separate slag, and get materials ready for smelting
  • Weigh, label, sample, and carefully track all gold materials and finished bars, following strict security and chain-of-custody rules at all times
  • Keep the gold room equipment clean (crucibles, molds, furnace areas, ventilation) and immediately report any problems or wear to the Supervisor
  • Always follow every safety rule and procedure exactly—especially when working with hot metal, chemicals, or in high-risk situations—and use the correct PPE every time
  • Do pre-shift and post-shift checks to make sure the area is clean, organized, safe, and ready for the next shift
  • Help keep accurate records of weights, pours, materials used, and any events in the logs and systems so everything can be checked and accounted for
  • Join daily safety talks and toolbox meetings, speak up about any hazards or near-misses right away, and show Visible Felt Leadership by staying alert and helping keep the team safe
  • Work closely with the Supervisor to learn and improve—ask questions, follow guidance, and do every task the right way
  • Assist during shutdowns or cleaning periods by helping remove residues, cool equipment safely, and prepare for any maintenance work
  • Maintain excellent housekeeping and personal standards in the secure gold room area at all times
Required Qualifications:
  • Reliable, trustworthy, and honest
  • Very detail-oriented with good attention to following steps exactly and noticing small things that matter
  • Strong commitment to safety—takes rules seriously, never shortcuts, and looks out for themselves and others
  • Willing and able to learn new skills quickly through on-site training from the Supervisor
  • Comfortable working in a hot, secure environment with full PPE (including respiratory protection when needed)
  • Physically able to handle moderate lifting (crucibles, molds), stand for long periods, and work in warm conditions
  • Able to read, understand, and follow written instructions, safety procedures, and SOPs
  • Basic English language skills would be beneficial
  • Previous experience in gold processing or gold room not required—priority is attitude, reliability, and careful work habits
  • Basic mechanical aptitude or experience in process operations (e.g., furnace, chemical handling, or high-temperature work) is a plus but not essential
  • Current driver’s license advantageous but not required
