Key Responsibilities:

Develop and Optimize Mining Operations Health, Safety and Security Processes:

o Develop and optimize Health, Safety and Security Management Operating Systems for mining operations

o Design, document, and implement efficient and scalable health, safety, and security processes tailored to industry-specific needs.

Compliance and Risk Mitigation:

o Ensure all processes align with regulatory standards, industry best practices, and company policies to reduce risk and enhance safety outcomes.

o Ensure all processes align with mining safety regulations, environmental standards, and industry certifications.

o Development of auditing processes to ensure ongoing regulatory compliance and readiness for inspections.

Process Integration: Work closely with cross-functional teams to integrate HSS processes into broader organizational and operational processes.

Health Monitoring and Worker Well-being

o Develop health processes for fatigue management, dust and noise exposure, and respiratory protection.

o Create health and wellness monitoring systems for workers in remote or high-risk environments.

Continuous Improvement:

o Establish processes that evolve with changing mining technologies, techniques, and global best practices.

o Build in feedback loops and continuous risk assessment strategies to ensure processes remain adaptive and effective.

o Identify process gaps, inefficiencies, and emerging risks, recommending continuous improvement initiatives.

Stakeholder Engagement: Collaborate with key stakeholders (operational, HR, security, and leadership teams) to understand requirements and ensure processes meet organizational needs.
