Dispatch 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 dispatch from the stockyard: loading sequence, rake and truck coordination, e-way bills and transit permits, and the queue outside the gate.

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.

Primary responsibilities

• Supervise dispatch of mineral and product — loading, weighment, documentation and release
• Ensure every consignment leaves with correct and complete documentation, including the statutory transit permits
• Coordinate the vehicle queue and the loading so trucks move rather than queue
• Reconcile dispatched quantity against production and stock daily
• Prevent and report the malpractice this function is exposed to
