Shift Supervisor, Operations – QAQC
JobsBy First Quantum Mineral
:\r\n\r\nPurpose\r\n\r\nTo coordinate, supervise, and optimize drill and blast QA\/QC activities across shifts by ensuring alignment between operational execution and production targets. The role ensures that drilling and blasting activities meet design specifications, quality standards, and safety requirements while driving continuous improvement through performance monitoring, data analysis, and effective team leadership. The Shift Supervisor acts as the critical link between field execution and strategic planning to deliver consistent blast outcomes and support overall mine productivity.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nKey Responsibilities\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSafety, Health, Environment and Quality (SHEQ)\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \tEnsure strict compliance and SHEQ policies, procedures and regulations\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \tConduct shift safety briefings, inspections, and risk assessments.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \tEnforce explosives safety standards and operational risk controls.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \tLead incident investigations, PTOs, and hazard identification processes.\r\n \t\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOperational Supervision and Execution\u00a0\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \tSupervise and coordinate all drill and blast QAQC activities during the shift.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \tEnsure drilled holes meet design requirements (depth, spacing, angle, and deviation).\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \tOversee dipping, redrill identification, and blast readiness processes.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \tMonitor explosive loading, density control, and stemming quality.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \tEnsure accurate execution of blast designs and proper use of systems (Blast IQ).\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nQuality Assurance and Quality Control\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \tEnsure adherence to QAQC protocols for drilling, charging, and blasting.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \tValidate stemming height, material quality, and confinement standards.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \tMonitor Powder Factor compliance and explosive performance.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r
