• Support mining inventory, production forecasting, material movement and equipment planning

activities.

• Coordinate with geology, geotechnical, mine water and infrastructure disciplines to develop integrated

and practical mine plans.

• Prepare clear technical reports, presentations, calculations and engineering documentation for internal

and client review.

• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the continued development of the GCC Mine Planning

capability.

• Create, update and review mine designs using Deswik.CAD and related Deswik modules.
• Develop strategic, tactical and operational mine plans aligned with project objectives and available

technical inputs.

• Prepare mining sequences, pushback designs, development layouts, extraction strategies and

production schedules.

• Build and maintain schedules using Deswik Scheduler, including activities, dependencies, resources

and production targets.

• Analyze mining rates, material movements, equipment productivity, operational constraints and

schedule performance.

• Evaluate alternative mine development and production scenarios and communicate the technical

implications.

• Coordinate multidisciplinary inputs and confirm that planning assumptions, constraints and interfaces

are appropriately incorporated.

• Support project planning, technical reviews, quality assurance, proposals, estimates and delivery

against agreed scope, schedule and budget.

• Contribute to standardized workflows, templates, automation and continuous improvement in mine

planning delivery.

Capability Development and Collaboration
