Our staff are inquisitive, curious and dedicated to solving complex problems and our size allows us to draw on colleagues across the globe just as easily as if they were across the hall. In broad terms we think KCB’s primary differentiators are:

If you have over 10 years of consulting experience in geochemistry, soil chemistry, hydrochemistry, or related geoscience and want to be part of a highly motivated group that works with clients to achieve their objectives, while leaving a positive impact on the environment and local communities, then KCB is what you are looking for.

Our focus is on the application of critical thinking to the management of mine waste and water and our clients are some of the largest mining companies in the world. The right candidate will show flexibility and be energized by the prospect of working on sites all around the world.
