Banele Mining & Sales (Pty) Ltd is recruiting a seasoned Drone Operations Supervisor to drive our safety-first drone strategy with a focus on blast monitoring, fragmentation analysis, and mining-compliance data capture. The role stewards full-stack drone operations—team leadership, scheduling, compliance, technical delivery, and high-value reporting for mining clients.
Key accountabilities include safe pre- and post-blast surveys, high-resolution data acquisition, adherence to SACAA Part 101 and mine COPs, and cross-functional coordination with Blasting, Survey, and Geotech units. The supervisor ensures data integrity across fragmentation reports, timing verification, DTMs, orthomosaics, fly-throughs, and volumetrics.
Candidates must bring 3–5 years’ commercial drone experience (2+ in leadership), a valid SACAA RPL/RPC, strong photogrammetry skills (Pix4D/DroneDeploy/ArcGIS), and proven blast-monitoring capability. Strong safety governance, reporting acumen, and operational readiness management are essential.
Minimum Requirements:
• RPL/RPC, NSC, advanced drone/photogrammetry competency
• Mine-safety knowledge (DMRE/MHSA), risk assessments, JSAs, toolbox talks
• Valid driver’s license; ability to travel
