Engineer, Projects

Newmont is hiring a Projects Engineer for its Ahafo South gold mine near Kenyasi in the Ahafo Region. Ahafo South is the biggest gold mine in Ghana and the centre of Newmont's business in Africa. The site mines both open pits and underground, and planned projects aim to extend production well past 2050. This is an on-site role.

The engineer helps deliver site projects safely, to standard and on schedule. The work sits under senior engineers and a project manager, and it suits an engineer with a few years' experience who wants to build a career in mine infrastructure, particularly underground.

How the work breaks down

In the office, you would help prepare project designs and plans, produce technical drawings and documents under the direction of senior engineers, and gather information and requirements from other departments to feed into planning.

On site, regular inspections check that work matches the specification and the safety standards. You would record what you find and pass it to senior engineers, keep daily project tasks moving within scope, flag delays to the project manager, and help solve technical problems as they come up. Looking after the tools and equipment the project uses is also part of the job.

You would also apply the health, safety and environmental rules on site, take part in safety assessments and help develop ways to reduce risk.

Qualifications and experience

A tertiary qualification in Civil, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.

At least three years of relevant engineering experience, ideally gained on underground development work, mine infrastructure and services, or projects built by contractors.

Working knowledge of the services an underground mine depends on, such as pumping and water distribution, ventilation, power distribution, communications and control systems, and compressed air.

Understanding of design and construction documents, including design criteria, specifications, IFC drawings, technical queries and RFIs, redlines and as-built records.

Knowledge of construction quality management: inspection and test plans, hold and witness points, testing, non-conformances and closing out corrective actions.

Familiarity with project controls such as work packages, short-term look-ahead schedules, progress and quantity measurement, change control and contractor performance.

Knowledge of engineering risk, constructability and commissioning, from hazard reviews and punch lists to handover documents and operations and maintenance records.

Awareness of the engineering standards, legal requirements and mine safety rules that apply to underground infrastructure.

Good record keeping, clear communication, the judgement to solve field problems within your authority and escalate the rest, and the willingness to stop unsafe work.
