Highly skilled and experienced Mining Engineer focused on optimizing mining processes for maximum productivity, risk reduction, and compliance with production standards. Successful in managing and planning drilling and blasting operations, as well as controlling heavy machinery and transportation. Proficient in assembling leach piles and acid irrigation lines, always prioritizing safety and sustainability. Passionate advocate for innovation in mining, currently leading a project to implement mechanical arms on crane trucks for safer handling of drilling rods and improved transportation efficiency. Committed to continuous improvement and staying updated on industry trends. Seeking new challenges to contribute to the sustainable growth of the mining industry through expertise and technical knowledge.
As part of my work in the mining operation, I have played a fundamental role providing support in the mobilization of heavy machinery. My responsibility includes:
Planning and Coordination: I have been responsible for planning and coordinating the mobilization of heavy machinery efficiently and safely. This involves scheduling movements, assigning resources and coordinating with other departments and work teams.
Also, I have worked in the operation of the drum of the cable truck and the handling of cables of the drill and shovel. My responsibilities include:
Cable Truck Drum Operation:
Preparation and Commissioning: I have been responsible for preparing the cable truck before use, verifying that all systems are operational, including the drum and cable. This involves performing safety inspections and preventative maintenance. Operation Control: During the operation of the cable truck drum, I have carefully controlled the unwinding and winding of the cable. This requires precise skills to ensure the cable moves safely and efficiently.
Safety: Safety is a priority in my work. I have strictly followed safety protocols when operating the cable truck, including personal protection and risk management. Communication: Maintained effective communication with other members of the mining team to coordinate cable handling and ensure a safe and efficient workflow.
Handling of Drilling and Shovel Cables:
Cable Handling: I have been responsible for handling the drill and shovel cables, ensuring they are connected and operate safely during mining operations.
Cable Replacement and Maintenance: In case of wear or damage, I have participated in the replacement of drill and shovel cables, following safety procedures and ensuring that the new cables are correctly installed.
Storage Management: I have ensured that cables are properly stored to avoid damage and premature wear, contributing to the maintenance of cable inventory and minimizing unnecessary costs.
I have played a crucial role in managing the supply of drilling metals and explosive agents for blasting, using SAP software to optimize these operations. My tasks include:
Supplier Management: I have established and maintained strong relationships with suppliers of drilling metals and explosive agents. At SAP, I have recorded and managed supplier contact information, payment terms, contracts and supply agreements, which has improved efficiency and transparency in transactions.
Purchasing Processes and Inventory Control: Using SAP, I have effectively managed purchasing processes, generating purchase orders in a timely manner and ensuring that prior agreements are met. In addition, I have kept exhaustive control of the inventory of drilling metals and explosive agents, which has ensured an efficient workflow and avoided shortages or excess stock.
Quality Management: I implemented a quality control system in SAP to ensure that the materials purchased meet the safety and quality standards and specifications required in the mining industry. This has contributed to maintaining the integrity of the blasting processes.
Cost Tracking and Analysis: Through SAP, I have accurately tracked the costs associated with the acquisition of materials, which has allowed for better budget management. I have also used SAP's reporting and analysis capabilities to identify areas of improvement and efficiency in supply management.
As part of my work, I have also played an essential role in the process of changing drilling rigs. My responsibilities include:
Planning and Scheduling: I have been responsible for planning and scheduling sweeper changes in an efficient and timely manner. This involves coordinating work with the drilling team and other departments to minimize downtime and ensure drilling operations resume quickly.
Inspection and Maintenance: Before changing mudguards, I have carried out thorough inspections of the drill to identify possible problems or wear on the existing mudguards.
Additionally, I have performed the necessary maintenance to ensure the machine is in optimal condition.
Safety: Safety is a priority in my work. I have implemented and complied with safety procedures and protocols for changing barriers, ensuring that it is done safely for personnel and machinery.
Team Collaboration: Changing barriers often requires coordinated teamwork. I have collaborated closely with other team members to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
Recording and Documentation: I keep a detailed record of the sweeper changes made, including the date, duration, tools used and any important observations. This provides useful history for monitoring and future planning.
Time Optimization: I always look for opportunities to optimize the time required to change drills, implementing more efficient processes and work techniques that minimize interruption to the drilling operation.
Finally, I played a key role in the analysis and management of total drilling costs (Total Drilling Cost) and partial drilling costs (Partial Drilling Cost). My responsibilities include:
Total Drilling Cost:
Comprehensive Cost Analysis: I have conducted a comprehensive analysis of all costs associated with the drilling operation. This includes direct costs, such as labour, equipment, materials, and fuel, as well as indirect costs such as maintenance, administration, and infrastructure costs.
Performance Evaluation: I have compared actual costs with budgeted costs to evaluate the performance and efficiency of drilling operations. This has been essential for identifying areas for improvement and making informed decisions.
Reporting and Communication: I have prepared regular reports summarizing total drilling costs and have communicated these results to senior management and other stakeholders, which has contributed to transparency and strategic decision making.
Partial Drilling Cost:
Process Optimization: I have worked on process optimization and implementation of best practices to reduce partial drilling costs without compromising quality and safety.
