Engineering Manager

Company Description

Anglo American is a leading global mining company, and our products are the essential ingredients in almost every aspect of modern life. Our portfolio of world‑class competitive mining operations and undeveloped resources provides the metals and minerals that enable a cleaner, greener, more sustainable world and that meet the fast‑growing consumer‑driven demands of the world’s developed and maturing economies.

We are constructing a state‑of‑the‑art underground mine to enable the extraction of Polyhalite – a unique multi‑nutrient fertiliser – along with the necessary infrastructure both above and below ground that will be required for transport, processing, and distribution.

POLY4 is our flagship multi‑nutrient fertiliser product. Made from polyhalite, it contains four of the six macro‑nutrients and many micronutrients that are essential to plant growth. It allows farmers to maximise their crop yield, increase quality and improve soil structure with one simple product.
