Wagagai Mining (U) Limited, a prominent player in the Ugandan mining sector, is seeking a qualified Assay Laboratory Analytical Chemist to join its dynamic workforce. This pivotal role involves conducting precise chemical analyses to determine the composition and concentration of substances in samples, ensuring compliance with established protocols and regulatory standards.

As part of this role, you will be responsible for executing a range of critical tasks, including overseeing daily operations to ensure seamless workflow management. Your responsibilities will encompass maintaining accurate records, coordinating with cross-functional teams, and implementing strategic initiatives to enhance productivity. Additionally, you will be tasked with analyzing performance metrics, identifying areas for improvement, and providing actionable recommendations to senior leadership.

Key responsibilities include:

Performing fire assay, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analyses. Preparing samples and standards, maintaining analytical instruments, and ensuring analytical accuracy and quality control. Preparing and delivering detailed assay reports to clients and internal stakeholders, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance with established protocols.

The successful candidate must possess a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry or a related field, along with at least two years of hands-on experience in an analytical laboratory setting. Proficiency in data interpretation, report generation, and quality control procedures is essential, as are strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills. Collaboration with cross-functional teams to troubleshoot technical challenges and optimize assay methods may also be required.

Requirements include a Diploma or higher qualification in chemistry or analytical chemistry, and a valid assay analysis qualification. Proficiency in fire assay, Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), and Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) techniques is required. Experience in conducting comprehensive multi-element analysis, demonstrating proficiency across a range of analytical techniques and methodologies to assess complex chemical compositions, is also necessary.

The ideal candidate will exhibit an unwavering commitment to precision and thoroughness in every task undertaken. The position demands strong organizational skills, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment. A proven track record in a similar capacity, proficiency in relevant software tools, and exceptional communication abilities are essential requirements for success in this position.

Wagagai Mining (U) Ltd (WGG), Uganda's pioneering fully automated large-scale gold mining venture, operates in USIA. The Company manages a 5,000-tonne-per-day concentrator, a 350-tonne-per-day kyanization facility, a fully automated underground mine, and a gold smelting and refining workshop. In response to evolving production demands, WGG is now seeking applications from qualified professionals for the following critical technical roles.

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
