• Optimization of mining operations

Create fleet of equipment simulations to verify if clients needs are perfectly matched with their capacity, ie motor grader & haul truck roads studies.

• Analysis of mining equipment performance

Visit mine sites to troubleshoot ongoing issues with equipments and produce a report with recommendations, ie torque converters on underground trucks .

• Productivity and tonnage studies

Lead diverse productivity studies to ensure tonnage goals are achieved, ie. haul truck scale studies.

• Strategic resource planning

Lead mining technology projects on client's sites by developing strategic plans (gantt charts, excels) to allocate resources efficiently and meet deadlines, ie. Driver Safety System on haul trucks.

• Team monitoring and coordination

Visit mine site to monitor and coordinate project implantation to ensure objectives are met, ie. commissioning of Command for Underground.

• Risk management and problem-solving

Identify and anticipate risks, implementing proactive solutions to prevent disruptions, ie. make a list of possible issues and preparing for the worst case.

• Technology identification and design

Identify, design, and test the chosen technology, including the belt filter, decanter, and thermal dryer

• Project management and planning

Develop and update project plans to meet objectives and financial constraints

• Effective communication

Maintain clear communication with the team to quickly identify and resolve issues

• PI System network ability

Use the PI System network (Vision, Explore) to create graphs for production analysis.

• Troubleshooting production issues

Analyze production data to find issues to drive continuous improvement, ie. aluminum blend concentrations.

• Simulations for improvement

Participate in production study and use data to simulate problems within production, ie. oven temperature simulation.

• Mining process control

Monitor and execute mining process controls on different projects, ie. lixiviation of input ore.

• Physico-chemical experiments on minerals

Conduct lab experiments to identify mineral properties and optimal treatments, ie. pH, concentrations tests.

• Best practices and safety procedures

Develop best practices reports and safety procedures for equipment utilization, ie. press filter utilization guide.

• Production data recording

Document daily production data and submits accurate time logs to keep management updated.

• Machine configuring

Make sure machines are well configured for various tasks to maintain manufacturing thresholds and waste reduction initiatives.

• Inspecting products for quality and design compliance

Verify compliance with quality and design standards.
