Candidate Details

Compliance, scope and feasibility (planning foundations)

I have located, interpreted and applied site infrastructure and fixed plant documentation (standards, procedures, drawings, specifications) to ensure the work was compliant.
I have clarified and confirmed the scope, objectives, constraints and success criteria for infrastructure and/or fixed plant changes.
I have identified hazards, risks and environmental issues, and implemented controls for planning and decision-making activities.
I have consistently applied appropriate PPE and site safety requirements when conducting inspections, site visits and verification activities.
I have experience completing or confirming feasibility analysis for infrastructure and/or fixed plant proposals (technical, operational, financial).
I have identified required statutory/legal approvals and progressed or confirmed approval applications relevant to the proposal.
I have experience conducting or coordinating title searches and using outcomes to inform planning and risk controls.
I have developed detailed plans, budgets and financial models consistent with feasibility outcomes.
I have estimated business plan impacts and financial benefits (CAPEX/OPEX, productivity, risk reduction, lifecycle costs) from infrastructure/plant changes.
I have collected and analysed strategic resource planning information to support executive decision-making (people, equipment, services, time).

Developing the detailed infrastructure proposal

I have identified and interpreted legislative, statutory and site requirements that apply to site infrastructure development/changes.
I have defined the purpose and performance requirements of infrastructure items aligned to site design and the system of mining/extraction.
I have developed fit-for-purpose specifications for infrastructure items based on comprehensive site requirements analysis.
I have identified and compared infrastructure options using technical, operational and financial information.
I have selected preferred infrastructure options based on projected performance against specifications and whole-of-life considerations.
I have experience conducting site visits to confirm infrastructure routes/sites/capacities and capturing outcomes on the site plan/drawings.

Developing the detailed fixed plant proposal

I have identified and interpreted legislative, statutory and site requirements that apply to fixed plant selection, location, installation and operation.
I have defined the purpose, duty and performance requirements of fixed plant aligned to site design and the system of mining/extraction.
I have identified supporting mobile plant requirements needed to enable the fixed plant system (interfaces, capacities, constraints).
I have developed fixed plant specifications from a comprehensive analysis of site requirements and manufacturer/supplier information.
I have identified and compared fixed plant options using relevant technical, operational and financial data.
I have selected preferred plant options based on projected performance against specification requirements, reliability and maintainability.
I have experience conducting site visits to confirm potential fixed plant locations and recording outcomes on site plans/drawings.

I have prepared detailed infrastructure proposals including components, layout, specifications and costs suitable for endorsement/approval.
I have prepared detailed fixed plant proposals including specifications, locations and costs suitable for endorsement/approval.
I have prepared proposals for supporting plant and associated costs (interfaces, enabling works, commissioning needs).
I have prepared requirements for fixed plant/infrastructure within a general site development proposal and submitted to the organisation/board/executive for endorsement.

I have established audit/review procedures and schedules for site infrastructure and fixed plant systems.
I have identified and assessed future system and equipment requirements and incorporated these into forward planning and business planning processes.
I have established practical processes for capturing feedback (from workers, maintainers, operations, OEMs, stakeholders) and integrating it into reviews.
I have established and applied procedures to respond to non-compliance, discrepancies or deficiencies identified through audits/reviews.
