• Review supplier and subcontractor invoices for accuracy and report discrepancies

• Hire, develop, and manage hourly mine‑site employees in coordination with the Project Manager

• Prepare and process production changes, field adjustments, or scope modifications with client representatives as needed

• Lead planning meetings with Maintenance and Operations teams to ensure equipment readiness, fleet availability, and operational continuity

Qualifications:

• 5–10 years of supervisory experience in mining operations or large‑scale earthworks, preferably in an active mine environment

• Proven ability to manage production schedules and adjust plans based on changing ground, weather, or equipment conditions

• Strong problem‑solving skills with the ability to develop practical, safe solutions to complex operational challenges

• Highly effective communicator who can tailor messaging to operators, engineers, clients, and leadership teams

• Collaborative leader who builds teamwork, accountability, and a positive safety culture

• Willingness to travel and remain on site for the duration of mine projects
