Produce documented Life of Mine Plans and short/medium/long term schedules for mining operations, including material movements, equipment requirements, manning levels plus capital and operating costs.
Prepare resource and reserve statements for reporting to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Typically, the Chief Engineer at operating sites would be responsible for this task. The task requires a high level of Mine Engineering experience and ability.
Provide high level strategic mine planning support to operations to meet business needs.
Provide a development and mentoring role to mining engineers based at operations.
Ensure that Stage Gate Studies meet the requirements of each Gate and are accurate assessments of what is realistic and achievable. This requires a quick (days) review, resulting in decisions based on seasoned experience, broad understanding of interdisciplinary impacts and using base logic that is adaptive to the deposit, location and situation at hand.
Ensure mine planning and economic evaluation of surface mining at Newmont Mining Corporation maximizes the value of the business.
Ensure that when approaching each project, however different from the others, that an adaptive approach is taken to properly define the problem and determine appropriate solutions.
Critical work values include flexibility and adaptability, collaboration with others and the ability to plan and deliver work results with quality, accuracy, punctuality and reliability.
