Position Summary

In addition to training delivery, the role holds shared accountability for ensuring training is applied in the field and that expectations around procedures and safety are understood, followed, and reinforced.

- Deliver classroom, field, and underground training for new hires, role changes, and refresher requirements.
- Provide hands-on coaching to ensure miners understand not just what to do, but why it is done that way.
Training Compliance & Accountability
- Hold shared accountability for compliance to training requirements, mine procedures, and safety expectations.
- Verify that training provided is being applied correctly in the field through observation and follow-up.
- Identify when non-compliance is driven by:
- Training gaps
- Unclear or impractical procedures
- Equipment familiarity issues
- Address issues through coaching, retraining, or procedural clarification as appropriate.
- Escalate repeated or serious non-compliance to supervisors and management when training intervention alone is not sufficient.
Procedures & Standards

- Review procedures regularly to ensure they are practical, current, and aligned with actual work practices.
- Support updates to procedures where gaps or risks are identified through field observation.
Equipment Training
- Lead equipment-specific training and competency verification for underground mining equipment.
- Work with supervisors to determine operator readiness and ongoing competency needs.
- Recommend restrictions, retraining, or additional support when competency concerns are identified.
Safety Expectations
- Reinforce site safety expectations during all training activities and field interactions.
- Intervene and correct unsafe work practices observed during training or operational support.
- Support a just and fair approach by focusing first on education, coaching, and clarity of expectations.
Collaboration & Reporting
- Work closely with Mine Supervisors, Safety, and Operations leadership to align on expectations and standards.
- Provide feedback on training effectiveness, procedural adherence, and recurring compliance issues.
- Maintain training records, competency sign-offs, and documentation required for audits and inspections.
Continuous Improvement & Mine Efficiency
- Actively identify opportunities to improve mine efficiency, consistency, and work sequencing through observation of day-to-day operations.
- Use training interactions and field observations to highlight: Inefficient work practices , unnecessary rework or delays, gaps between planned work and actual execution
- Work with supervisors, planners, and technical roles to:
- Feed practical, operator-level insights into mine planning and scheduling
- Support improvements to procedures and standard work that reduce variability and downtime
- Incorporate efficiency improvements into training content to ensure better practices are consistently adopted across crews.
