the position provides technical leadership to site-based teams to optimise orebody value, improve

predictability, and support operational performance

Key Responsibilities

Safety Leadership & Compliance

• Champion and drive a proactive safety culture across all operations in the region.

• Ensure full compliance with company safety policies, regulatory requirements, and industry standards.

• Conduct regular safety audits, risk assessments, and field inspections to identify and mitigate hazards

• Promote continuous improvement in health, safety, and environmental (HSE) performance.

Production Geology Standards & Governance

• Define, implement, and maintain regional standards for production geology across all operations.

• Ensure consistency in grade control, sampling, mapping, and data management practices.

• Establish clear frameworks for production geology workflows and deliverables.

• Provide governance and assurance that site teams adhere to defined standards.

Ore Control, ROM Management & Blending

• Set and oversee standards for ROM pad management, ore tracking, and stockpile governance.

• Define blending strategies and frameworks to optimise plant feed and metallurgical performance.

• Ensure alignment between geological models and operational ore control practices.

• Support sites in managing ore variability and minimising dilution and ore loss.

Geometallurgy & Mine-to-Mill Integration

• Drive integration of geometallurgical data into production decision-making.

• Establish standards for linking geological characteristics with processing performance.

• Promote a mine-to-mill approach to optimise overall value rather than siloed performance.

Mapping & Geological Control

• Define standards and expectations for pit and underground geological mapping.

• Ensure mapping data is consistently captured, interpreted, and utilised to improve orebody understanding.

• Support site teams in improving geological interpretation at the production scale.

Reconciliation & Performance Assurance

• Establish and govern mine-to-mill reconciliation processes across all sites.

• Monitor reconciliation performance (model vs grade control vs plant) and identify gaps.

• Drive continuous improvement in reconciliation accuracy and predictability.

Drilling Integration & Planning

• Work closely with the Regional Drilling Operations Lead to align production drilling standards and execution.

• Define requirements for grade control drilling, including spacing, QA/QC, and data capture.

• Ensure effective integration of drilling outputs into production geology workflows

Data Management & Systems

• Define and maintain standards for production geology data collection, validation, and management.

• Ensure integrity, accessibility, and usability of geological data across operations.

• Promote the use of digital tools and systems to enhance data-driven decision-making.

Functional Leadership & Alignment

• Act as the production geology discipline lead across the region, providing functional leadership to site-based teams.

• Drive alignment through technical reviews, site engagements, and knowledge sharing.

• Influence without direct authority to ensure adoption of standards and best practices.

• Interface with Group Geology, Drilling, Processing/Metallurgy, and Mine Operations teams.

Performance & Continuous Improvement

• Track and analyse production geology performance metrics.

• Identify opportunities to improve ore control, reconciliation, and operational outcomes.

• Drive innovation in production geology practices, technologies, and workflows.

Qualification Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Geology or related discipline

Experience and Skills Requirements

• Significant experience in production geology within mining operations (open pit and/or underground).

• Strong experience in grade control, reconciliation, and ore management.

• Demonstrated experience working across multiple sites or in a regional/group role.

• Experience collaborating with mining, processing, and drilling functions

• Strong technical expertise in production geology and orebody control.

• Deep understanding of mine-to-mill processes and value drivers.

• Ability to influence and lead without direct authority. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

• Excellent stakeholder engagement and cross-functional collaboration.

• Regional standards and performance in production geology.

• Effectiveness of ROM management, blending, and ore control practices.

• Accuracy and reliability of mine-to-mill reconciliation.

• Integration of geology, mining, and processing to optimise value.

• Quality and integrity of production geology data
