The remaining 40% focuses on overseeing team deliverables, ensuring alignment with monthly objectives, and mentoring a team of 3–4 engineers across short-term planning, development, and production. The role requires close collaboration with Geotechnical, survey, and operations teams to ensure safe, efficient execution of the weekly and monthly mine plans
