Global specialty minerals producer with three business divisions
Imerys operates a large, geographically distributed mining and minerals company across 39 countries with 13,700+ employees. The tech stack reflects a capital-intensive manufacturing operation: heavy SAP deployment (S/4HANA migration underway), mining-specific tools (Surpac for resource modeling, Siemens PCS 7 for process control), and field equipment management (PLC, CNC, Profibus). Engineering-heavy hiring (71 roles) paired with active mine-planning and maintenance projects signals a focus on operational efficiency and downtime reduction—core pain points across the divisions.
Notable leadership hires: Maintenance Lead, Communication Director, EHS Director
