Job description

Job Description
JOB PURPOSE
The Autonomous Systems Manager is responsible for leading the execution, adoption, and scaling of technology deployments, including Automation solutions, across existing mining operations. This role serves as the mining lead for autonomous systems, translating the enterprise innovation strategy into safe, reliable, and scalable implementations across mine sites.
Operating within the mining industry requires strong operational credibility, organizational acumen, and disciplined change management. This role partners closely with mine operations, maintenance, engineering, safety, IT, and commercial teams to ensure existing deployments meet expectations and to further identify and deploy new systems that are practical, value-driven, and aligned with enterprise and site-level standards.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Strategic & Operational Leadership
  • Act as the Autonomous Technology lead for assigned mining regions, sites, or functional domains
  • Partner directly with mine site leadership and operational teams to identify, prioritize, and deliver autonomous solutions that improve:
  • Safety performance
  • Production efficiency and reliability
  • Asset utilization and maintenance effectiveness
  • Cost control and operational decision-making
  • Translate the equipment automation strategy into executable, site-aware roadmaps
  • Apply strong political and organizational awareness to align corporate, site, and functional priorities

Autonomous System and Mining Technology Execution
  • Coordinate and manage pilots, proofs of concept, and trials across mining operations, ensuring:
  • Clear operational objectives and success metrics
  • Defined timelines, ownership, and exit criteria
  • Alignment with safety, cybersecurity, OT/IT, and data governance standards
  • Prevent duplicative or overlapping technology trials across sites by coordinating initiatives at the regional and enterprise level
  • Ensure pilots are designed with mine-site realities in mind (connectivity, workforce capability, safety constraints, system integration)

Team & Vendor Leadership
  • Lead a hybrid delivery ecosystem, including:
  • SME involvement
  • Technology vendors and OEM partners
  • Internal mining engineers, maintenance personnel, and operations personnel
  • Build fit-for-purpose support teams aligned to project scale, operational risk, and site criticality
  • Ensure vendors and contractors operate in compliance with mining safety standards, cybersecurity requirements, and business governance

Change Management & Adoption
  • Lead structured change management for technology solutions introduced into mining operations
  • Drive adoption through stakeholder engagement with:
  • Site leadership
  • Supervisors and frontline teams
  • Technical and maintenance personnel
  • Support transition from trial to production, including:
  • Training and capability uplift
  • Standard operating procedures
  • Clear operational ownership and support models

Scaling & Continuous Improvement
  • Identify opportunities to replicate, standardize, and scale automation and technology solutions across other mine sites, regions, or assets
  • Provide performance data, lessons learned, and site feedback to inform:
  • Enterprise technology roadmaps
  • Mining technology standards and architectures
  • Support continuous improvement for how automation technologies are deployed, governed, and sustained in mining environments
  • Other duties as assigned

Qualifications
Mining & Industrial Experience
  • A bachelor's degree in engineering or a closely related field, or 12 years of specialized experience required.
  • 5 years' experience delivering and implementing automation systems, advanced collision avoidance, or other advanced, disruptive technology solutions in mining, heavy industry, or asset-intensive environments required
  • Minimum 10 years of project management or operational leadership experience in mining or a related field required.
  • Familiarity with mining operational domains such as:
    • Mine Design and Mine Planning
    • Mining Operations; Fleet management, drilling, blasting, or materials handling
    • Maintenance and asset health
  • Demonstrated understanding of the intersection between OT, IT, and Wireless Communication systems in mining operations

Leadership & Influence
  • 5 years' experience leading cross-functional teams across corporate, regional, and site environments
  • Able to navigate complex organizational dynamics and influence decisions across operations, IT, and leadership
  • Demonstrated success driving technology-enabled changes in operationally conservative or safety-critical environments

Execution & Change Management
  • Strong program and project management capabilities
  • Experience moving solutions from pilot to operational scale in mine sites
  • Ability to balance innovation with safety, reliability, and operational risk management
