What this role is

Executive leader accountable for all engineering drafting and technical documentation services supporting energy and mining projects. At the Director (Executive) (E1) level, the role owns a significant function with strategic authority, strategic and cross-functional, and drives function-wide enterprise impact. Executive leadership of a function.

What this level does

Leads the complete mine engineering sub-function through Directors (M5s), owning mine planning, design, and the engineering/scheduling standards embedded in technical reports.
Sets the functional engineering strategy for mine planning and mine services (power, ventilation, compressed air, water) and ground control, grounded in detailed knowledge of the company's operations.
Accountable for serious functional and business consequences of engineering decisions — labor and equipment cost plans, budget adherence, and the safety and accuracy of engineering plans executed onsite.
Ensures PE-licensure and continuing-education gating is upheld across the engineering organization so that formal design sign-off and autonomy are properly delegated.
Interfaces with peer executives and major customers to represent the engineering function in mine development commitments.

Knowledge applied: Applies detailed company knowledge and functional mining-engineering strategy — mine planning/design, mine services, ground control, and the engineering/scheduling content of technical reports.
Complexity & problem solving: Solves functional-strategy problems with serious functional and business consequences, such as reconciling engineering plans with labor, equipment, and operational-cost budgets.
Collaboration & interaction: Interfaces with other executives and major customers, representing the engineering sub-function's commitments.
Typical experience: 12–15+ years of mining/energy engineering and management experience; PE licensure and progression gated by the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam.

Skills at this level

Mine Planning and Design Strategy: — Directs the development and implementation of mine planning, engineering, and related systems and standards, translating deposit data into executable mine plans and the engineering/scheduling sections of technical reports.
Mine Services Engineering: — Governs the design and implementation of mine services — power, ventilation, compressed air, and water — alongside ground-control design across an operation or division.
Ground Control Design: — Sets philosophy and standards for ground control, ensuring engineering plans and instructions executed onsite are accurate and safe under strict safety procedures.
Geological Deposit Evaluation: — Integrates geological exploration to determine the accessibility and value of a mineral deposit, informing whether and how a deposit is developed at enterprise scale.
Mine Engineering Budgeting and Cost Control: — Analyzes labor requirements, equipment needs, and operational costs and consolidates them into budget plans, then holds engineering deliverables to those cost and production commitments.
Production Tracking and Reporting: — Oversees delegation of production tracking and the preparation of monthly reports produced jointly by business and technical staff, ensuring designs meet program requirements within budget.
Pit Optimization Modeling (Whittle): — Applies Whittle pit-optimization modeling to shape mine design, scheduling, and the value case for a deposit at the strategic engineering level.
Mine Design Systems (Hexagon Mining): — Uses Hexagon Mining tooling to standardize mine design and engineering workflows as division- or enterprise-wide governance rather than individual practice.
Engineering Licensure and Standards Governance: — Maintains PE-licensure regimes (Principles and Practice of Engineering exam, continuing education, and state-based reciprocity) as the formal gate for design sign-off and delegated engineering autonomy across the organization.
Technical Strategy Leadership: — Sets the engineering strategy for the company with organization-wide scope of influence and lasting effect on the technical landscape, acting as connective tissue between on-the-ground engineering and senior executives.
Influence-Based Executive Leadership: — Leads and advises across the engineering organization by influence and alignment with management to make sound business decisions, negotiating critical matters with top leaders and external stakeholders.
Quantitative and Analytical Rigor: — Applies advanced mathematics (calculus, trigonometry), statistics, and data collection to analysis, design, and troubleshooting of mine engineering problems, and holds the organization's modeling to that standard.

Pay across the ladder

Engineering Services (Energy/Mining) — median with , by . Real canon data.

National-base pricing — this family's function differential is pending review, so dollar levels are not function-adjusted (level-over-level % is unaffected).

Pay figures are modeled estimates from our market equation — level-differentiated, with honest-wide bands. They refresh as new leveling evidence lands; treat per-role dollars as directional.

Demand — is the field growing, or just turning over?

The swatch is JobFrame's core primitive: a hueset deterministically by the role's superfunction, the profileKey as its color code, the level ladder, and a content fingerprint. Two swatches that look alike are alike.

Because every role carries computable coordinates, similarity, leveling, and pricing become measurable instead of arguable— the whole point of "Pantone for jobs."

How to read this profile

Every number here is traceable — to a named source, a stated method, and an as-of date — and each value is labeled by how we know it: observed from data, computed by a model, projected forward, or governed canon. Nothing is a black box, and nothing is invented to fill a gap.

The principles behind the numbers

Ranges, not false precision

Pay is P10 · median · P90, never a single misleading number.

Three honest states, never a fake %

Role matches resolve to confident / review / no-match — a calibrated verdict, not a made-up percentage.

Provenance on every value

Each number carries whether it's observed, computed, projected, or canon — so you always know how much to lean on it.

Gaps shown as gaps

When a figure isn't available at the grain you need, we say so — we don't fabricate a number to fill the cell.

Frozen, versioned editions

Pay and coordinate editions are pinned, so a comparison you make today still means the same thing next quarter.

Privacy by min-N

Any aggregate over people is suppressed below a minimum count, so no individual is identifiable.
