Adhere to engineering plans and regulatory requirements for responsible mine development.
Maintain accurate records of progress, ground support, drilling, and blasting activities.
Identify and support continuous improvement opportunities in development techniques and technology.
Follow sustainable practices and environmental regulations to reduce development impact.
