Manager — Digital-led Transformation & Capital Project Management (Metals & Mining)

Role Title: Manager Digital-led Transformation & Capital Project Management (Metals & Mining)

Role Purpose :-

Lead end-to-end digital transformation and PMO for large capital projects in metals & mining covering planning, execution, governance, and benefits realization. You will drive adoption of digital/AI solutions (e.g., 5D BIM , advanced scheduling & risk analytics, drone/LiDAR-based progress tracking , IoT geo-fencing for materials, digital twins , and GenAI assistants for controls and reporting) to deliver measurable improvements in time, cost, quality, and safety .

Key Responsibilities:-

A. PMO & Governance

• Establish and run the PMO : stage-gate governance, change control, RACI, decision logs, and escalation paths.
• Build/maintain Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) ; perform critical path and whatif analyses; lead schedule compression strategies.
• Implement Cost Controls (budget phasing, EVM with CPI/SPI), forecast-at-completion (FAC), variance analysis, and executive reporting.
• Drive Risk & Safety Management : risk registers, mitigations, contingency strategies, and safety audits with digital/AI insights.
• Oversee Quality Management : ITPs, NCR/CPAR workflows, vendor surveillance; ensure compliance with OISD/PNGRB/PESO/CEIG and applicable codes.

B. Procurement & Supply Chain

• Own procurement management : sourcing strategy, bid evaluation, contracts/Change Orders/EOTs, LDs/incentives.
• Run performance reviews for contractors and material vendors; track delivery performance and expediting.
• Implement Digital Storage & Logistics Management (IoT + geo-fencing) for traceability, install-readiness, and exception alerts.

C. Digital/AI Transformation

• Define the digital roadmap and success metrics; orchestrate adoption of:
• 5D BIM (cost + schedule integration) and model-based quantity management.
• Advanced scheduling & risk analytics (constraint-based planning, scenario simulation, Monte Carlo).
• Drone/LiDAR for volumetrics and progress; CV-based safety/compliance monitoring.
• Power BI/Tableau control towers; GenAI copilots for reports, risk registers, and stakeholder communications.
• Digital twins/IoT for real-time asset & utility dashboards (energy, ETP, utilities).
• Ensure cybersecurity and data governance for TAS/PLC/SCADA integrations.

D. Stakeholder & Delivery Leadership

• Act as client-facing lead for multibilliondollar programs (mine expansion, beneficiation, smelters, ports/terminals, rail logistics).
• Lead multi-disciplinary teams (civil/mech/electrical/instrumentation, digital, safety, QA/QC); coach Associates/Sr Associates.
• Manage benefits realization; track KPIs tied to business case (throughput, cost, schedule predictability).

Required Qualifications & Experience:-

• 68 years relevant experience in construction + metals/mining + PMO consulting across capex projects.
• PMP certification (mandatory).
• M.Tech (NICMAR) preferred (Construction/Project Management).
• Alternatively, BE/B.Tech (Civil/Mechanical/Electrical) + MBA with strong project/PMO track record.
• Demonstrated hands-on with at least 3 of: Primavera/MS Project , Power BI/Tableau , BIM (Navisworks/Revit/Synchro) , Drone/LiDAR workflows , EVM , IoT/SCADA/TAS integrations, GenAI copilots.
• Strong commercial acumen (contracts, claims/changes, LDs), regulatory familiarity (PESO/CEIG/environmental permits).

Core Skills:-

• Program governance, PMO operations, EVM, schedule & cost assurance, risk management.
• Digital solutioning & change management; stakeholder management at CXO/plant head level.
• Excellent communication; executive reporting; proposal support/presales a plus.

Working Model:-

• Consulting life : extensive travel to site/client offices (as needed).
• Opportunity to work on multibilliondollar engagements with reputed companies; strong exposure to digital & AI transformation.
• Location: Flexible; base in India with deployment to project sites.
