Senior Underground Planning Engineer
The Company
Our client operates as a globally diversified gold mining organization with a broad portfolio of high-quality assets, projects, and exploration ventures across various countries and continents. The company strategically pursues opportunities in complementary minerals where it can capitalize on its established assets, equity interests, and extensive technical and managerial capabilities. Applications are invited from ambitious, energetic and performance driven individuals.
The Role
The Key Responsibilities
Provides technical leadership for underground production planning, drill & blast engineering, and life-of-mine (LOM) ventilation modelling. This role translates long-range strategy into executable mid- and short-term schedules while driving cost optimization and strict safety compliance.
The Requirements
- Production Scheduling: Develop 3-month, quarterly, and annual production schedules using Deswik, integrating backfill, equipment, and geotechnical constraints.
- Drill & Blast Optimization: Design precise drill patterns, charging plans, and firing sequences to meet fragmentation targets and minimize dilution.
- Ventilation Engineering: Maintain and update LOM ventilation models using VentSim to control airflow, dust, and diesel particulate matter (DPM).
- Compliance & Performance: Monitor variance in tons, grade, and cycle-time; embed risk-based critical controls into designs to prevent high-potential incidents (HPIs).
- Team Leadership: Coach junior mining engineers, manage specialized software licensing, and present decision-ready dashboards to underground leadership.
Qualifications & Experience
- Bachelor’s Degree in Mining Engineering (or equivalent)
- The candidate must hold an active, internationally recognized RPA credential with independent signing authority (e.g., MAusIMM CP (Min), MIMMM QMR, or full ECSA Pr.Eng.).
- Medical fitness certificate for underground work, underground driving authorization
- Blasting/Explosives Handling certificates
- Mine Ventilation Certificate (required)
- Minimum 6–8 years of mechanized underground experience that bridges the gap between daily production grit (drill & blast optimization, dilution/reconciliation) and long-to-medium term Life-of-Mine (LOM) strategy.
- Proven, hands-on mastery of Deswik Suite (MSO, Sched, CAD, UGDB) for multi-variable constraint scheduling, combined with VentSim for 3D ventilation network modeling.
Skills & Personal Attributes
