We are committed to delivering safe, efficient, and high-quality underground mining solutions.
As part of our ongoing operations in Ghana, we are seeking a qualified and experienced SURVEYOR to join our underground operations team.
Role Summary: The Surveyor will be responsible for creating and maintaining accurate 3D maps of mine workings, using advanced tech like total stations & CAD for precise data, directs development and production drilling/blasting, calculates ore volumes, ensuring safety compliance, and supporting engineers by integrating survey data into mine planning for efficient extraction and development.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
- Conduct surveys of underground tunnels, developing and maintaining up-to-date 3D digital models and 2D plans of all mine workings, including all excavations, ventilation systems and emergency egress routes.
- Calculating volumes and tonnages of mined material (ore and waste) for inventory management and contractual payment verification.
- Verifying that all mining activities remain within legal lease boundaries.
- Calibrating and maintaining advanced surveying tools such as Total Stations, GPS/GNSS systems, and laser scanners.
- Setting out precise points for drilling, blasting, and excavation; transferring surface control to underground areas.
- Calculating ore reserves, muck pile volumes, and material tonnages for production and financial reporting.
- Maintaining accurate records, preparing technical reports, and communicating findings to stakeholders.
Requirements:
- A bachelor’s degree or Diploma in Surveying, Geomatics, or Mining Engineering is required.
- Expertise in surveying software (e.g., AutoCAD, Deswik, Maptek, or Surpac) and hardware (e.g., Leica Total Stations, LiDAR scanners, and underground drones).
- Strong advanced mathematical and numerical skills for complex spatial calculations.
- Proven experience in underground hard rock mining surveys.
- Proficiency with surveying equipment (Total Stations, GPS) and software (CAD, GIS, mine planning software).
- Strong attention to detail, problem-solving, communication, leadership, and teamwork.
- Accurately marking up level designs, drill patterns, and blast holes to ensure tunnelling follows planned engineering specifications.
- Professional licensure or a Mine Surveyor’s Certificate is often mandatory depending on the jurisdiction.
- Ability to work in dark, cramped, and physically demanding underground environments, often involving long periods of standing or walking.
