About the role
The Mine Engineer provides technical engineering support for the safe, efficient, and cost-effective operation of an open-pit gold mine. This role supports mine planning, production scheduling, drill-and-blast design, ore control, geotechnical monitoring, and operational performance analysis.

Key Responsibilities
•
Develop short- and medium-term mine plans, designs, schedules, sequences, and equipment requirements aligned with production targets and the life-of-mine plan.
•
Monitor mine-to-plan performance and reconcile tonnes, grades, material movement, and equipment productivity.
•
Design and coordinate drill-and-blast programs to support safe, efficient mining and effective fragmentation.
•
Maintain designs for haul roads, pit access, stockpiles, waste dumps, and related mine infrastructure.
•
Coordinate with Geology and Grade Control to manage ore delineation, routing, blending, dilution, and recovery.
•
Analyze production data, operating costs, and key performance indicators to identify improvement opportunities.
