The Mine Engineering Superintendent leads the mine engineering function and holds accountability for the integrity of the mine plan, from long-range life-of-mine sequencing through to the weekly plans the operating crews execute. The role owns the technical standards that govern planning, drill and blast design, ground control, and survey, and is responsible for ensuring those standards translate into safe, achievable, and cost-effective plans.

This is a leadership position rather than a senior individual contributor role. Success is measured by the performance of the department and the credibility of the engineering group across the site: whether the plan is issued on time and executed as designed, whether reconciliation is understood and acted on, whether costs are forecast accurately, and whether the next generation of engineers is being developed.

The Superintendent is expected to spend meaningful time in the field and be hands on in the development of the engineering team as well as be the senior technical voice in operational decisions where ground conditions, sequencing, or equipment constraints put the plan at risk.

The Mine Engineering Superintendent reports to the Technical Services Manager and serves as a member of the site leadership team. Direct reports typically include Senior Mine Engineers, Drill and Blast Engineers, and Projects Engineers. The position works in close partnership with the Mine Operations Superintendents, Maintenance, Geology, Environmental, and Finance, and interfaces with corporate technical services on standards, studies, and reserve reporting.

• Exercise stop-work authority for any safety concern and hold the engineering team to that same standard in every design, review, and field inspection.
• Ensure engineering designs and work plans comply with federal and state mining regulations and with company safety standards before they are released to operations.
• Own the technical standards and safe operating procedures governing ground control and blasting and ensure they are reviewed and updated as conditions change.
• Participate in incident investigations where design, sequencing, or ground conditions are contributing factors, and drive the resulting corrective actions to closure.

• Own the integrity and accuracy of the mine plan across all horizons: life-of-mine, annual budget, quarterly forecast, and the short-range plans that drive daily execution.
• Approve designs, drill and blast packages, pit development sequencing, and ancillary/project designs prepared by the engineering team.
• Provide technical oversight…
