The Technical services department is critical for a mining operation, providing expertise and support throughout the assets development and operational journey. They handle key tasks such as mine planning and engineering, survey and ventilation. These departments ensure efficient and safe extraction of minerals while optimising resource utilisation. Moreover, they play a crucial role in adopting and implementing advanced technologies to enhance productivity and sustainability. By integrating geological, engineering, and environmental knowledge, technical services departments contribute significantly to the success and longevity of mining operations, ensuring they remain efficient, compliant, and competitive in the global market.
The Technical Services Manager oversees these critical aspects. They coordinate with various teams to optimise production, ensure compliance with regulations, and drive continuous improvement initiatives, contributing to the overall efficiency and success of the mining operation.
