Establish and maintain specifications for backfill products, elements, and systems.
Evaluate and approve new backfill products, designs, and technologies.
Review, maintain, and update Backfill Management Plans.
Support knowledge sharing, training, and development in backfill technologies and practices.

Operational Excellence, Risk Management & Quality Assurance

Ensure backfill systems operate safely, reliably, and in compliance with operational, quality, and regulatory requirements.

Ensure all backfill practices comply with safety regulations, quality standards, and operational requirements.
Conduct regular underground inspections to monitor system performance and address issues proactively.
Implement and oversee Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) programs for backfill operations.
Conduct investigations and peer reviews of major incidents, including backfill failures and plant system incidents.
Maintain comprehensive technical documentation related to inspections, designs, QA/QC activities, and operational performance.
Monitor system effectiveness and support corrective actions to improve reliability, safety, and production outcomes.

Demonstrated experience with underground backfill design, implementation, system performance, QA/QC practices, operational execution, and continuous improvement.
Experience working collaboratively with mine operations, technical services, safety teams, suppliers, procurement, and other cross-functional stakeholders.
Experience leading technical projects, inspections, investigations, engineering reviews, or improvement initiatives within an underground mining environment.

Skills:

In-depth knowledge of mine engineering principles, underground mine design, geotechnical constraints, and backfill technologies such as paste fill, hydraulic fill, and rock or aggregate fill.
Strong knowledge of backfill mix design, plant design, response measurements, performance analysis, system optimization, and backfill behaviour assessment.
Understanding of backfill material measurement equipment, plant measurement systems, surveying and scanning systems, instrumentation design, monitoring, and in-stope stability assessment methods.
Knowledge of quality assurance and quality control programs related to backfill systems, materials, products, and underground placement practices.
Proficiency with 3D mine design software, backfill system modelling tools, and other relevant engineering applications.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to assess system performance, identify improvement opportunities, and implement practical, safety-focused solutions.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical information for a variety of audiences.
Strong collaboration skills and the ability to build effective working relationships with technical, operational, safety, procurement, and supplier stakeholders.
Commitment to safety, regulatory compliance, continuous improvement, ethical conduct, accountability, and professional integrity.
Ability to work effectively in a dynamic underground mining environment while demonstrating adaptability, resilience, sound judgement, and attention to detail.
