Mining Supervisor

A Mining Supervisor oversees operations at a mine or a particular department at a mine site. You’ll ensure the mine is operating efficiently and production targets are being met. Mining Supervisors deal with any problems or incidents that occur and may organise training for new and current staff. You’ll ensure all safety and environmental standards are being adhered to.

Mining Supervisors should have strong leadership skills and must be able to handle several tasks at one time. It’s important that you are safety focused and can communicate well with your team. Depending on the location of your work, Mining Supervisors may be required to be away from home for periods of time.
