- Develop and optimise mine designs, sequencing, and schedules for contractor-managed mining activities.
- Utilise DataMine software for designing pit layouts, scheduling, and resource modelling, supporting the contractor team in efficient ore extraction.
- Create and implement detailed short- and long-term mine plans, ensuring alignment with production targets and ore body characteristics.
- Monitor and optimise drilling, blasting, and excavation activities to ensure that ore quality and recovery rates meet design specifications.
- Coordinate with the geology team to ensure resource models are accurately integrated into mine planning processes.
- Supervise the development and management of operational schedules, including daily and weekly production targets, to maximise efficiency.
- Track and report on key performance indicators (KPIs) related to mining activities, focusing on grade control, operational efficiency, and cost management.
- Ensure strict compliance with safety, environmental, and regulatory standards in all mine planning and grade control operations.
Key Requirements:
- Degree in Mining Engineering or a related discipline.
- At least 4 years of experience in mining engineering, with a focus on grade control, mine design, planning, and scheduling, ideally within iron ore operations.
- Strong experience in using mine planning software, specifically DataMine, for pit design, scheduling, and resource modelling.
- Expertise in managing grade control processes to optimise ore recovery and minimise dilution.
- Proven ability to work with contracted mining teams, ensuring alignment with operational requirements and efficiency targets.
- Experience with developing and implementing mining plans and schedules, from drill and blast to ore extraction.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to coordinate with geologists, contractors, and other departments to achieve project goals.
- Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail, with a focus on continuous improvement.
