• Dewatering, process water, compressed air systems
• Ventilation systems
• Backfill and concrete/shotcrete systems
• Maintenance garages, warehousing, office/dry buildings, refuge stations

• Leading a team of Mechanical Designers and Engineers to drive commonality and consistency across the project’s mechanical deliverables.
• Working with the Civil/Structural, Electrical/Instrumentation and Mining Design Leads to ensure deliverables that cross disciplines are consistent.
• Interfacing with the client’s technical representative to resolve design challenges and to deliver mechanical team reports.
• Setting up the initial list of mechanical deliverables, defining the mechanical aspects of the schedule and defining the mechanical project design criteria.
• Interfacing with the other design disciplines and leading the multi-discipline checks of the mechanical team’s deliverables.
• Resolving design conflicts within the mechanical team and bringing in support when required.
• Participating in the definition of the project document templates and project CAD standards and then spot checking throughout the project period.
• Supporting the Area Manager’s role of managing schedule and budget through notification of over-runs and client requested changes to scope.
