Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Monitor the plant circuits (crushing, screening, washing and dewatering) and keep throughput and yield on target during the shift.
Check coal quality using samples and lab results for ash, moisture and sulphur, then adjust washing density or feed rate.
Supervise shift crews, assign tasks and make sure operators follow standard operating procedures.
Plan and oversee preventive maintenance of jigs, dense medium separators, screens, pumps, conveyors and thickeners.
Troubleshoot blockages and breakdowns, record the cause and fix so the same fault does not return.
Enforce safety rules such as dust control, electrical isolation and work permits, and lead shift safety talks.
Prepare production, yield and maintenance reports for the plant manager, and track water and effluent limits.
