- Support mine planning and scheduling (short interval control, short/long-range plans) and production optimization
- Provide technical input across drill-and-blast, ground control, ventilation, and geotechnical risk controls (as applicable)
- Optimize plant/process performance (throughput, recovery, product quality) and troubleshoot process bottlenecks
- Lead maintenance/reliability improvements for mobile and fixed plant (shutdown planning, asset strategy, availability)
- Manage contractors and vendors to scope, schedule, budget, and safety expectations
- Support projects, expansion work, commissioning, and operational readiness
- Coach and develop teams while improving standard work and continuous improvement routines
