Directed underground mining activities including draw control, draw orders, ore grade tracking, and cave heights for efficient ore draw control practices. Maintained & communicated critical information concerning draw control for production planning both short and long term. Interfaces and consults with Operations and Financial Services Group concerning operational goals to support Business PlanPrepared budget and production scheduling to optimize mine performance. Monitoring cost performance. Utilized earned value and Cost Performance Index (CPI) to monitor project status. Discovered capital funds being used for expense projects in the Front Cave. Approached accounting to correct problem. Assists production, and development teams which troubleshoot and investigate production problems to find the best solutions for improvement in safety and efficiencies. Worked with all available internal and external resources to improve production efficiencies through research of industry standards and new technical innovationSupervises contractors in the design and application of safety and productivity improvements and capital projects.HighlightsProject management and design of the Supervisor Office expansion. Project finished on budget and on schedule with no change orders. Project was build to current IBC, Chevron SID, and ACI codes.Utilized Finite Element software (AutoCAD inventor) to evaluate and improve mining structures. Designed improved dump structure for telluride mining car. This would of improve efficiency 50% (Based on estimated dump cycle times). Evaluated lifting strength of vent shaft liner and provided suggestions lifting eye design.Developed and evaluate AFE’s for the Front Cave, North Runaround and supervisor office expansion.

Responsible for the construction planning for the dykes and dumps at MRM. Activates include communicating with the Short Range Coordinator to develop a daily/weekly plan and insure that the plan is followed. Then communicating with production (Ore/Waste Specialist and Team Leads) to align or adjust priorities to fit current needs and demands. Highlights:Effectively plans for waste material placement on dump and dyke structures by prioritizing placement options on a daily basisResponds to updates/unexpected changes in operations with alternative waste placement optionsCo-ordinates with operations team leads, geo-tech monitors and other engineering planners to ensure that construction follows approved design plansIdentifies areas for concern on dyke and dump structures and acts to mitigate risksWorks with survey staff to provide operations personnel with support in the field, as well as conduct weekly as-built surveysPlans and co-ordinates other construction projects involving waste movement Communicates well with co-workers to clarify plans and instructions, address concerns, and pass information on to the involved peopleMine software packages:Vulcan, AutoCAD, and Modular's MMS packageAchievementsPlanned successful realignment of Tailings line on dyke. Leading open communication between planning and tailings projects

Field duties included providing field support to pit supervisor with daily plans and production goals, assisting truck supervisors with dump placements and routes, and interface with General supervisor to relay critical project information in a timely manner.Office duties include preparing production reports (daily, weekly, and assisting with monthly production and performance reports), forecasting for dragline and truck and/loader pits, analyzing equipment capacities, planning material placement and participating in daily planning meetings of daily mining activities. Applied statistical analysis (Monte Carlo simulations) to determine heavy equipment availability and capacity.Special projects include Vulcan 3D modeling of various pit scenarios to evaluate volumetrics of being dirt bound and providing recommendations to remedy scenario. Modeled a dragline crossover from one pit to another pit. Benefit of analysis, determined the amount of material to be moved, placement of material to minimize the amount of rehandle, type of additional equipment needed aide dragline, and an estimated time of completion.Duties also included being part of a weekend supervisor rotation covering dragline and truck production activities for the weekend. Management of Potentially Acid and Toxic Forming Material (PATFM) program. Responsibilities included developing sampling plans, data interpretation, data management, management of soils lab and directing contractors to execute sampling plan.AchievementsSupervisor Essential trainingOperational Excellence CertificationDevelopment of a database to mange PATFM data and creation of sampling plan
