Underground Mine Planning Engineer

Develop underground mine designs for a range of methods (sublevel stoping/SLOS, long hole open stoping, sublevel caving, cut-and-fill, room-and-pillar etc.) design declines/Shaft, levels, or handling, ventilation primaries, and infrastructure excavations. Collaborate with geology, Geotech and hydro work streams to finalize respective assumptions on quality, dilution, stability and hydrogeological constraints Develop Life-of-Mine plans and schedules optimizing NPV considering capital, development, and operating constraints. Build short term plan (annual, quarterly and monthly schedules) with development and stop sequencing considering parameters of equipment, ventilations, support hoisting etc. Stope optimization using relevant tools to generate economically optimized stope shapes; Planning for capital and operating development with optimal advance rates, considering the production rate, equipment, infrastructure etc. Document the planning work in the form of technical reports, and customize the same in to Scoping, PFS and DFS as per the project requirement. Engage with costing team for providing assumptions to build capital and operating cost. Grow the underground planning capability over time by mentor junior planners. Support in due diligence of mining asset available as a part of acquisition or tie ups.
