Purpose

Responsible for planning, directing, and conducting mine surveying such as direction and gradient line installations processing of data and submit reports. Setting out of survey points for alignment of structures, volumetric measurement of excavations, dumps, civil work, and stockpiles. Construct, design and maintain mining layouts. Survey the required

infrastructure for as-built purposes; perform detailed stake out – and profiling operations. Perform extraordinary surveys such as check surveys, gyro surveys and Lidar Scanning surveys when required.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform surveys including GNSS, surface, check surveys and Lidar scanning, process infrastructure
• requirements, and perform stake-out, profiling and scanning operations when required, perform precise
• monitoring. Perform measuring operations using tapes, total station, laser scanners, and GPS. Perform
• calculations and processing of survey data and represent this information on plans, compile reports from
• the surveyed and measured data. Conduct density testing/measuring operations.
• Survey the required infrastructure such as dumps, stockpiles and other features on surface, perform
• surface subsidence monitoring, measure underground excavations, underground accumulations,
• underground construction, and geological features as required per regulations. Perform detailed stake out
• operations as and when required. Install survey pegs and grades, collate and input measurement data
• into the survey systems.
• Measure accident and incident scenes for representation on plans. Provide survey notes and issue holing
• warning notifications where required. Measure and quantify surface and underground production. Visualise
• and conceptualise 3D drawings and layouts.
• Provide input into sub-functional planning. Plan team activities. Drawing from own experience or
• vocational knowledge, identify and recommend initiatives aimed at eliminating waste, improved
• productivity and reduce operating costs within scope.
