What the Operations Captain does at KiarX
KiarX offers a mining management platform, and this role is the link between its field teams, clients and internal departments. The goal is a smooth rollout of KiarX solutions at mining sites, and steady performance once they are running.
Much of the work is screen-based. You keep watch on site activity through dashboards and reports, and study figures on trips, diesel use, driver performance and other operating measures. Daily and weekly reports come from you. If the system underperforms, you track it and work with the technical teams on a fix.
You also help new clients get started, assist with setting up at sites and with training teams, chase open tasks until they close on time, and visit sites in person when the need arises.
