• Compile tracking sheets and compare expenditures and forecasted values to the project budget.
• Responsible for the coordination and planning of all major asset deliveries to site as per project programme requirements. This included 6 x Roadheaders for tunneling purposes and supporting plant such as excavators, dump trucks, forklifts and other earth moving vehicles.
• Successfully planned and executed the delivery, assembly, and commissioning of 6 x Roadheaders and supporting fleet of equipment. This included direct communication with local and international suppliers, compiling lift studies for the delivery of equipment, hiring cranes for offloading and installation and planning with other stakeholders on site to coordinate deliveries and installation of equipment, obtaining necessary permits and complying with environmental guidelines.
• Planning and executing maintenance schedules and ensuring availability targets are reached and minimizing downtime in order to achieve production targets.
• Oversee the procurement of all spare parts, consumables and warranty claims for entire fleet and mechanical workshop.
• Implemented systems and tracking sheets for accurately keeping track of the usage of consumables and spare parts as well as reordering.
• Kept track of GET consumption rates and made improvements to this by changing the carbide tip on the front on the picks to a different size, which still gave us the daily BCM rate while reducing pick consumption.
• Sold used picks back to supplier for a portion of the profit when he sells the remaining carbide in the tips to a buyer.
• Managing subcontractors and ensuring supply contracts are adhered to.
• Responsible for the planning and installation of supporting site services. This included the layout of the entire site, planning the distribution layout for supporting services such as compressed air piping, industrial water supply on surface and in the tunnel as well as the dewatering of the tunnel.
