- Plan and coordinate drilling, blasting, crushing, screening, loading, hauling and stockpiling activities in line with approved plans and operational priorities.
- Conduct and interpret site surveys, geological assessments, volume calculations and material-quality testing to support extraction decisions and production reconciliation.
- Use GPS, drones, total stations, CAD and mine-planning systems to maintain quarry plans, reserve information, stockpile volumes and extraction progress.
- Monitor production performance, product quality and operating costs, identify variances and implement practical corrective actions.
- Plan and deliver quarry improvement and capital projects, including roads, drainage, plant modifications and new extraction areas.

- Ensure quarry activities comply with safety, environmental, mining, blasting and regulatory requirements.
- Prepare technical reports, production records, maps, presentations and recommendations for internal and external stakeholders.

- Practical knowledge of quarry planning, extraction sequencing, drill and blast, crushing and screening, stockpile management and product-quality requirements.
- Experience with survey methods and systems, including GPS, drones, total stations, CAD, mine-planning or spatial-data platforms.
- Ability to analyse production, survey, cost and equipment-performance data and turn findings into practical operational improvements.
- Experience planning and delivering operational or capital improvement projects, including contractor coordination, commissioning and handover.
- Working knowledge of mobile and fixed-plant maintenance planning, reliability, utilisation and shutdown coordination.
- Commercial awareness across budgeting, forecasting, cost-per-tonne analysis, quotations and variation control.
- Strong planning, communication and problem-solving skills, with the ability to build productive relationships across technical and operational teams.
