Key Responsibilities
- Underground mine planning and design
- Development and stope design
- Short and medium-term scheduling
- Drill & blast planning and design support
- Narrow-vein mining optimisation
- Mining sequence and extraction planning
- Dilution and recovery analysis
- Production forecasting and performance analysis
- Work closely with geology, survey and underground operations
- Identify opportunities to improve extraction, productivity and mine performance
About You
You Will Ideally Have
- Degree qualification in Mining Engineering
- Underground hard-rock mining experience
- Experience within narrow-vein mining environments
- Robust understanding of underground drill & blast
- Mine planning, scheduling and design experience
- Stope and development design capability
