Mine Canteen Supervisor

About this role

Mine Administration runs the site's supporting functions — stores, the explosive magazine, weighbridge, dispatch, time office, security, HR, community relations and statutory compliance.

Run the site canteen across shifts: menu, hygiene, the contractor and feeding a night shift properly, which matters more to morale than most things on this list.

Several of these are control points rather than clerical jobs. The weighbridge slip drives invoicing and royalty computation, the explosive register is a legal document that gets audited, and contractor labour compliance is where site operations most often get into serious trouble. Integrity in these roles matters more than experience.
