About This Job

Job Title: Mine Manager – Surface Mine Location: Site Based


Reports To: General Manager


Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced and results-driven Mine Manager to lead all surface mining operations, ensuring safe, efficient, and cost-effective production while driving continuous improvement across drilling, blasting, loading, hauling, maintenance, and support functions. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of delivering hard-dollar cost savings, operational efficiencies, and safety improvements while fostering a high-performance work culture.

This role requires a hands-on leader who can articulate specific examples of how their initiatives led to measurable improvements in production, maintenance, operator performance, and personnel development. Experience in mine expansion, crushing/conveying systems, leach pad stacking, and greenfield development is highly desirable.


Key Responsibilities:


Operational Leadership & Cost Efficiency:

Develop and execute mine plans to meet production targets while optimizing costs.
Provide specific examples of initiatives that led to hard-dollar savings (e.g., improved fleet utilization, reduced downtime, optimized blasting patterns, or fuel efficiency gains).
Lead continuous improvement projects (e.g., mine sequencing optimization, haul road design, or maintenance strategy changes) with clear ROI and payback periods.
Oversee drilling & blasting operations to maximize fragmentation while minimizing costs.
Manage haulage and loading operations to improve cycle times and reduce operating expenses.


Maintenance & Fleet Performance:

Implement preventive and predictive maintenance programs that extend equipment life and reduce repair costs.
Demonstrate past successes in reducing maintenance costs (e.g., extended component life, reduced rebuild frequency, or improved parts inventory management).
Have detailed knowledge of equipment repairs and maintenance program implementation, with having worked with major OEM equipment vendors and support personnel.
Optimize mobile fleet performance through operator training, telematics, and performance benchmarking.


Safety & Compliance:

Foster a zero-harm culture with visible safety leadership.
Provide examples of safety initiatives that reduced incidents (e.g., behavioral-based safety programs, near-miss reporting improvements, or fatigue management).
Ensure compliance with MSHA, OSHA, and environmental regulations.


Team Leadership & Culture Development:

Lead large teams (30+ personnel) across multiple mining disciplines (drilling, blasting, hauling, maintenance, etc.).
Articulate how you built high-performing teams—examples could include mentorship programs, skills development, or incentive structures that improved engagement.
Demonstrate improvements in workforce culture (e.g., reducing turnover, improving cross-shift communication, or increasing employee-led innovation).


Mine Expansion & Capital Projects:

Experience in brownfield or greenfield mine development, including permitting, infrastructure, and commissioning.
Highlight specific projects (e.g., crusher/conveyor installations, leach pad expansions, or fleet upgrades) where you drove value through cost control and execution efficiency.


Qualifications & Experience:

10+ years in surface mining operations, with 5+ years in a leadership role managing large teams (30+ employees) at operations producing or exceeding material movement of at least 150ktpd using 200t class trucks, large shovels and associated support fleets.
Proven ability to articulate cost-saving initiatives with quantifiable results (e.g., "$X saved through Y improvement").
Strong background in drilling/blasting, load & haul, maintenance, and mine planning.
Experience with crushing/conveying, leach pad stacking, and heap leach operations preferred.
Greenfield development experience is a plus.
Bachelor’s degree in Mining Engineering or related field (preferred but not mandatory with sufficient experience).


Key Performance Metrics:

Safety: TRIR, LTIFR reductions.
Production: Tons moved, cost per ton, fleet productivity.
Maintenance: Fleet availability, repair costs, mean time between failures (MTBF).
People: Employee retention, engagement survey results, training hours per employee.


Why Join Us?

Lead a dynamic mining operation with opportunities for growth and innovation.
Drive tangible impact through operational excellence and team development.
Competitive compensation, benefits, and performance incentives.

Apply Now: If you are a proven Mine Manager who can demonstrate hard-dollar savings, operational improvements, and team leadership successes, we want to hear from you. Provide specific examples of your achievements in your resume or cover letter.
