About this role

What will you be responsible for?

We lead all mine engineering aspects of underground mine projects at Yanacocha that currently includes: Chaquicocha, Antonio, Exploration Decline, and Early Projects.

The role encompasses a range of engineering and technical activities, involving some or all of the steps from identifying substantial technical problems and opportunities; through devising engineering approaches, processes and plans to resolve them; to researching, supporting, acquiring and assembling the resources to implement the plans. The role might include leading teams or cooperating with other subject areas to acquire a solution that is optimal to Newmont.

In this role you will

Here is a snapshot of what your day to day will look like:

• We support the UG Technical Services Superintendent in the completion of mine engineering work associated with Order Of Magnitude from Conceptual to Detailed Engineering (Stage 1 to 4) studies of various underground mining projects in the Yanacocha district, demonstrating a deep understanding of the technical challenges as well as a sufficiently broad view, obtained from experience and consultation with others, of the context and environment of the project, also taking account of the need to conform to relevant regulatory requirements and company standards.
• We use highly developed mine design, planning and scheduling skills; in addition to demonstrating a sound knowledge of resource geology, Geotech, hydrology and ventilation; and financial analysis in order to support the above. Assemble the results of these analyses into presentations and reports suitable for supporting decision making by senior managers that may be of substantial importance to the company. Where necessary back up this work in discussions, forums and reviews, displaying a robust understanding of the work.
• We evaluate, validate and/or audit engineering work of others whether contained in reports, research documents, studies, designs, plans, procedures, scopes of work, contracts or schedules, and digest information relevant to a problem or project, whether in the form of documents, reports, plans, drawings, digital models or raw engineering data.
• We undertake site visits and targeted observations in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of relevant issues. Conduct risk and opportunity reviews.
• We develop novel approaches to overcoming constraints and obstacles where there may be conflicting design requirements, difficulties in scheduling, problematic interactions or particular challenges of coordination. Report and present summaries arising from such analysis and provide advice on implementation of modifications, improvements, plans of action and remedies.
• We support and act for in the absence of the UG Technical Services Superintendent.
• We coordinate with other site functions such as geology, open pit mine engineering, project development, maintenance, permitting, social, project control, and finance to ensure project goals and objectives are achieved.
• We prepare resource and reserve statements as the qualified person for collaborating with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This task requires a high level of mine engineering experience and ability, akin to that of the Chief Engineers at operating sites who are responsible for similar tasks.
• We provide expert advice to engineers at operations, including provision of advice and advanced instruction on the application of mine engineering related software and tools. We foster the adoption of improved methods and tools at sites, assisting with justification of investment of resources through to implementation.
• We align with the Internal Work Regulation and Code of Ethics and Conduct of MYSRL; and promote the Inclusion and Diversity culture programs.
