Make design recommendations to operations and Geological Services staff.
As directed, may interact with outside consultants for mine planning and mining engineering projects.
Assist operations personnel to assure compliance with permit conditions, laws, regulations, guidelines, and maintenance requirements of the systems necessary for compliance.
Develop short-term and long-term underground mine plans and assist with ground control activities.
Assist with maintaining and reviewing survey data.
Identify, propose and justify projects which will improve costs and efficiency.
Assist and consult with operations managers with assessments geared toward lowering operating costs in both underground and open pit extraction areas.
Assist in preparation of stripping bid packages.
Maintain an updated life-of-mine site plan for all locations.
Assist in preparation of presentations, documentations, reports and maps as needed.
Maintain topographic maps/site maps on the network server in an up-to-date and current status.
