Management of Change: Ensure changes to water system design, operation, or constraints follow formal Management of Change (MOC) processes and are appropriately reviewed and approved.
Integrated Planning: Partner with operations, tailings, and mine planning teams to align water strategies with production plans and TSF requirements.
Data Management & Reporting: Oversee collection, validation, and analysis of water data, including flows, storage, and usage. Develop reports and dashboards to support decision-making.
Project Support: Support capital and sustaining projects related to water infrastructure, including design review, execution planning, and commissioning.

Contractor & Consultant Coordination: Manage external consultants and technical service providers supporting water modeling, studies, and system improvements.
Continuous Improvement: Drive improvements in water management systems, tools, and processes. Support adoption of best practices and new technologies.
