  • Participate in root cause analysis (RCA) investigations for significant equipment failures.
  • Coordinate with warehouse and procurement personnel to ensure parts, consumables, and contractor resources are available prior to scheduled work.
  • Verify Bill of Materials (BOMs) and maintain accurate spare parts information within the CMMS.
  • Optimize labor utilization by coordinating maintenance crews and contractor activities.
  • Ensure all maintenance work complies with mine safety regulations, environmental requirements, and company standards.
  • Incorporate Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), Safe Work Procedures, Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), confined space, and other safety requirements into work plans.
  • Promote a proactive safety culture through effective planning and risk mitigation.

The above duties and responsibilities represent the nature and level of work assigned and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
