About the job:
Reporting to the Chief Mine Engineer, the Mine Systems Engineer will lead the mining engineering system design efforts for KoBold’s Mingomba project, supporting the pre-feasibility and feasibility engineering studies. In collaboration with mining engineers you will help to identify, design, and execute all mining engineering planning process optimizations to maximize the safety, feasibility, and value of our future mine. In addition, you will be responsible for the strategy, implementation and execution of mine data management strategies consistent with development plans and in coordination with operations teams. You will also support all modeling work from district to mine scales in support of these goals. You will be responsible for building and fostering a collaborative relationship to support synergies with surrounding operators.

You will join an outstanding team of geoscientists, data scientists, and software engineers. You will be a core part of the project teams, supporting the advancement of the science and practice of exploration. You will support the development of novel data collection and monitoring programs. Working closely with geologists, hydrogeologists, and data scientists you will support construction of physics-based and data-driven models of the hydrogeology of our exploration sites and state-of-the-art water management strategies. A key challenge will be to quantify uncertainties relevant to mining, and to identify efficient means for reducing these uncertainties as the project advances.

Job Responsibilities and Duties:
Mine Systems Engineer
As a technical lead, you will perform strategic ug mine planning system design and support engineering and geoscience workflows to support infrastructure design ,sequencing & scheduling data interactions.
