You may also have experience with mines, smelters/refineries, traders, or other users of copper and experience with their operations.
• You also understand the big picture, which enables you to analyse and form clear, coherent conclusions from a variety of data and information. You find it easy to communicate complex or technical information and delivering messages that are easily understood. You thrive in a collaborative, commercial and client-centric environment.
• You have a high understanding of the Microsoft Office suite of products. You may have advanced skills utilising these products or programming languages. You may have experience with relational databases.
