• Rock Excavation & Drill-and-Blast Interface: Coordination-level integration with the overall earthworks plan.
• Civil Infrastructure: Foundations prep, concrete interface coordination, and minor structures/temporary works as required.

• Lead project execution for mining civil and earthworks scopes, ensuring alignment with scope, schedule, budget, and quality requirements.
• Act as a key interface between client and contractor(s), supporting coordination, decision-making, and issue resolution.
• Coordinate multiple work fronts and subcontractors, including bulk earthworks, rock excavation, drill-and-blast interfaces, roadworks, water management, and tailings-related civil works.
