  • Mentoring and coaching junior team members;
  • Offering technical expertise in geotechnical monitoring and support systems;
  • Maintaining strong relationships with contractors.

  • PMP certification or experience in project management is essential;
  • Hands-on experience with sub-level caving and block caving mining methods;

  • Proficiency in Deswik is mandatory; familiarity with other software (e.g., MS Office Suite, Ventsim, AutoCAD, or Vulcan) is advantageous;
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills in English;
  • Leadership and organizational abilities;
  • Knowledge of mining safety protocols;
  • Effective time management and decision-making capabilities;
  • Working knowledge of SAP is beneficial;
