This role emphasizes safe explosives handling and minimizing impacts to employees, neighbors, and the environment while remaining practical and effective for the operation.
This position is for an experienced Blaster.
Essential Functions
65% of the job: Blasting Operations
  • Design blasts utilizing drone-acquired survey data, blasting software, and georeferenced 3D rock mass models to optimize burden, spacing and blast geometry for target fragmentation outcomes.
  • Leverage Measure While Drilling (MWD) data - including penetration rate, rock hardness, and flush pressure - to characterize rock mass variability and refine charge designs prior to loading.
  • Utilize fragmentation analysis software to evaluate post-blast muck pile results, compare against design targets, and document findings for continuous improvement.
  • Integrate georeferenced blast hole data and rock strength models into blast design workflows to account for geologic variability across the pit.
  • Prepare, load, and initiate blasts in accordance with project specifications, safety procedures, and regulatory requirements.
  • Coordinate blasting activities with site leadership and crew members to reduce operational disruptions and maintain safe work zones.

20% of the job: Inspection, Compliance, and Documentation
  • Conduct pre-blast and post-blast inspections to evaluate site conditions, verify blast results, and ensure regulatory compliance.
  • Maintain accurate blasting records, logs, and digital reports including MWD data exports, fragmentation analysis outputs, and georeferenced blast maps.
  • Promptly report any incidents, misfires, or irregularities
  • Contribute to post-blast review meetings by presenting fragmentation analysis data and MWD correlation findings to site leadership.

15% of the job: Explosives Handling and Inventory
  • Assist with the storage, transportation, and inventory management of explosives and related materials, ensuring proper documentation and security
  • Collaborate with drill operators and site supervision to align drill patterns with blast design requirements and production scheduling needs.

TECHNICAL COMPETENCIES
  • Understanding of explosives handling, loading, and detonation procedures
  • Knowledge of blast area inspections and site safety controls
  • Proficiency in blast design software
  • Working knowledge of georeferenced 3D rock mass modeling and integration with blast design workflows
  • Ability to interpret and apply MWD data for rock characterization and charge design optimization
  • Experience with fragmentation analysis software and ability to evaluate and document post-blast results
  • Accurate completion of blast logs, reports, and documentation
  • Ability to follow established blasting plans and instructions
