• Make design recommendations to operations and Geological Services staff.
• As directed, may interact with outside consultants for mine planning and mining engineering projects.

• Technical Expertise: Maintains cutting edge awareness of latest development in a specific field by scanning multiple sources of information or data (e.g. periodicals, networks of contacts.)

Responsibilities Education
• Mining Engineering degree strongly preferred, but Geology, Geological Engineering, Civil Engineering or other Engineering degree with mining experience would be considered

Experience
• 5-7 years of geology, mining engineering or mining operations experience.
• Strong background in underground mining required.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are necessary.
• Must have the ability, either through formal training or experience, to create mine plans and schedules, compute stone reserves, draw and interpret topographic maps, identify cost savings opportunities, and understand and assist with financial analyses.
• Proficiency needed in 3D-CAD design and other computer related software, as well as basic surveying, mining engineering, and geologic concepts of quarrying, particularly as they relate to underground room and pillar mining.
• Must have strong understanding of how federal, state and local regulations and statutes affect mine planning affairs.
• Knowledge of hydrogeology and water management is helpful.

Other Requirements
• Some travel and periodically requiring overnight stay.
