The ideal candidate will have extensive knowledge of the Indian mining landscape, including regulatory requirements, resource evaluation, extraction techniques, and production processes. Experience with minerals used in solar manufacturing-such as silica sand, quartz, and other solar-grade raw materials-will be considered a strong advantage.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and oversee the development, preparation, and execution of mining plans, including mine design, scheduling, production planning, and resource optimization.
- Conduct geological assessments, feasibility studies, and reserve evaluations for various mineral deposits.
- Manage end-to-end mining operations including exploration, extraction, processing, and product quality assurance.
- Ensure compliance with Indian mining laws, environmental regulations, and sustainability standards.
- Optimize mining processes for efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
- Coordinate with cross-functional teams such as engineering, geology, production, and HSE departments.
- Maintain detailed documentation, technical reports, and production records.
- Drive continuous improvement and adopt new technologies in mineral extraction and processing.
- (Preferred Advantage) Provide expertise in minerals essential for solar panel manufacturing, especially silica sand, quartz, and other solar-grade inputs.
- Support procurement and quality evaluation of raw materials for renewable-energy-related projects.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mining Engineering, Geology, Mineral Engineering, or related field.
- 10+ years of experience in mining operations, mine planning, and mineral product life-cycle management.
- Strong knowledge of Indian mining regulations, statutory requirements, and government compliance procedures.
- Proven experience in mine design software (e.g., Surpac, Minex, Datamine, or similar).
- Deep understanding of processing and beneficiation techniques across mining commodities.
- Hands-on experience managing mining sites, production teams, and technical contractors.
- Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and project-management skills.
Preferred / Additional Skills
- Knowledge of minerals used in solar PV manufacturing (silica sand, quartz, feldspar, etc.).
- Experience working on mining projects associated with renewable energy or solar value chains.
- Familiarity with international quality standards for solar-grade raw materials.
- Strong communication and stakeholder-coordination abilities.
