technical inputs.

• Prepare mining sequences, pushback designs, development layouts, extraction strategies and
production schedules.
• Build and maintain schedules using Deswik Scheduler, including activities, dependencies, resources
and production targets.
• Analyze mining rates, material movements, equipment productivity, operational constraints and
schedule performance.
• Evaluate alternative mine development and production scenarios and communicate the technical
implications.
• Coordinate multidisciplinary inputs and confirm that planning assumptions, constraints and interfaces




are appropriately incorporated.
• Support project planning, technical reviews, quality assurance, proposals, estimates and delivery
against agreed scope, schedule and budget.
• Contribute to standardized workflows, templates, automation and continuous improvement in mine
planning delivery.

Capability Development and Collaboration
• Support the growth of the Deswik-based Mine Planning capability within GCC India.
• Provide technical guidance, coaching and task-level review for graduate and junior mining engineers.
• Participate in knowledge-sharing sessions, technical training and lessons-learned activities.
• Work effectively with geographically distributed project teams and communicate progress,
dependencies and risks clearly.
• Escalate technical, quality, schedule or resourcing concerns to the Mine Engineer - Team Leader and
relevant project leadership.
