  • Act as the central liaison between Group Technology, Asset Technology Managers, and site operational teams to ensure strategic alignment and delivery consistency.
  • Build strong relationships with Mine Managers, site teams, and vendors, influencing change adoption and driving stakeholder engagement.
  • Develop project documentation including charters, capital expenditure, and cost models, and facilitate governance across plan–build–run phases.
  • Lead risk management and operational readiness planning, embedding safety, cost-efficiency, and value delivery.
  • Support a consistent, repeatable deployment model by mentoring site teams and leveraging lessons learned across assets.

About you:
