Original source description
AngloGold Ashanti wants a Manager for Short Term Planning & Scheduling at the Obuasi Gold Mine, its underground operation in the Ashanti Region (requisition 31658). This manager runs the scheduling process that turns the mine's plans into work crews can actually carry out, covering the short and medium term. The core outputs are the detailed short-term schedule and a rolling three-month (12-week) schedule, and the manager is accountable for both.
The schedules feed the business plan, performance tracking and compliance reporting, so they must line up with operating priorities and with the medium-term forecast. The manager also leads and develops the scheduling team, coaching Scheduling Engineers and junior staff.
What you would do
Spend at least 30% of your time on site safety compliance and on building a zero-harm culture.
Build and keep up the integrated short-term and 12-week schedules, making sure each activity is ready to execute and reflects approved planning inputs.
Keep milestones, activity logic and infrastructure dependencies consistent between the short-term schedule and medium-term forecasts.
Test schedule assumptions, activity durations, constraints and sequencing so the plan is realistic.
Track progress, compliance and planned-versus-actual trends, flag risks and deviations, and explain variances for operational reporting.
Present schedules and reports at weekly and monthly planning meetings, including the MOS planning forums.
Work with operations and technical services teams to gather their inputs on time, and help apply and improve scheduling standards, tools and tracking systems.
Mentor, guide and give feedback to the Scheduling Engineers and more junior staff.
Requirements
- A tertiary qualification in Mining Engineering or a closely related discipline.
- At least eight years in underground mine scheduling and planning, including five or more at senior supervisory level.
- Strong short- to medium-term scheduling skills and a solid grasp of underground mining methods.
- Experience pulling together planning inputs from several technical disciplines and delivering workable schedules to tight deadlines.
- A record of developing and mentoring direct reports.
- Strong Excel and data analysis skills. Deswik or similar mine planning software is preferred, and advanced training in it is a plus.
- Fitness to work underground and pass site medical checks, and a valid driver's licence.
- Nice to have: a professional First Aid certificate, a Certificate of Competency from MINCOM at Shift Boss level or above, and membership of a recognised professional body.
