● Perform regular site inspections and assess the safety of sidewalls, drifts, pillars, and benches.
● Ensure sound housekeeping practices throughout the mine site.
Team Leadership & Reporting

● Maintain production, maintenance, and time-distribution records, and prepare monthly operational reports.
● Provide payroll data and support Collective Bargaining Agreement activities.
● Investigate and recommend new mining procedures, equipment, and alternate ore sources to improve efficiency.
● Report regularly to the General Manager on department performance, condition, and findings.
What You Bring
● High school diploma or equivalent.
● 3-5 years of experience in a similar mining operation, including at least 1 year in a supervisory role.

● Strong working knowledge of mine safety, production planning, and equipment maintenance.
● A proactive, hands-on leadership style with sound judgment for day-to-day and emergency decisions.
● Comfort working both underground and on the surface in a physically active, industrial environment.
Why This Role
● Step into a role with real autonomy - routine decisions are trusted to you, not micromanaged.
