About the Job

Requirements

  • A higher-level technical qualification in Mines, Technical Drawing, Industrial Design, Surveying, or a related career is required.
  • At least 10 years of experience as a project designer or drafter in engineering is required.
  • At least 6 years of experience in underground-mining projects is required; Block/Panel Caving experience is desirable.
  • Experience with CODELCO projects, such as Chuquicamata Subterránea, El Teniente, or Andina, or experience in underground operations is required.
  • Knowledge of underground-mining methods, excavation geometry, ground support, ventilation and mine services, drawing standards, and document control is required.
  • Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD and AutoCAD Civil 3D is required.
  • Advanced proficiency in at least one mining-design software package—Deswik, Vulcan, Datamine, or MineSight—is required.
  • Experience with Navisworks or an equivalent tool for clash detection is required.
  • Intermediate proficiency in Excel is required.

Responsibilities

  • Independently develop plans, 3D models, and graphical deliverables for the Mining discipline for underground-mining projects across profile, pre-feasibility, feasibility, and detailed-engineering stages.
  • Execute most assigned design tasks using independent judgment and under the guidance of the responsible engineer.
  • Apply design criteria, drawing standards, and project and client procedures, including CODELCO procedures.
  • Take responsibility for the quality, consistency, and timely delivery of assigned deliverables.
  • Guide and review the work of less-experienced designers and drafters.
  • Prepare underground-mine design plans, including production, caving, and haulage level layouts; drawpoints; drawbells; drifts; and galleries.
  • Develop underground-infrastructure plans for transfer raises, ventilation raises, ramps, crosscuts, crushing stations, workshops, electrical rooms, refuge chambers, and explosives magazines.
  • Build and maintain 3D excavation models and integrate them with geological, geotechnical, and other discipline models.
  • Prepare typical sections, longitudinal profiles, and excavation and ground-support details, including bolts, mesh, shotcrete, frames, and cables.
  • Generate construction-sequence and development-progress plans, and support quantity takeoffs for excavations and materials.
  • Prepare ventilation plans showing circuits, doors, and regulators, and general-arrangement plans for mine services such as water, air, drainage, and power.
  • Check for clashes and consistency with other disciplines and participate in model reviews.
  • Incorporate client and internal-review comments, controlling revisions and issue status according to the project document-control procedure.
  • Support estimates of labor hours and progress for the discipline's graphical deliverables.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with Block/Panel Caving projects is desirable.
  • Experience with Revit or Plant 3D is desirable.
