Reporting to the Engineering Manager, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and managing Barrick's HME digital ecosystem across the Africa and Middle East (AME) region, starting with Lumwana Mining Company (LMC) as the pilot site. With a regional mandate, you will focus on integrating systems like SAP (ERP), AMT (Asset Management Technology from RPMGlobal), Dingo Trakka (Asset Health Platform), Deswik (mine planning), and Xeras (budgeting) to create a seamless, data-driven environment. Drive scalability, ensuring data integrity, improved overall asset management maturity and effectiveness, and supporting the transition from reactive to predictive maintenance. Post-Lumwana implementation, you will support rollouts at other AME sites until regional completion.
Your duties will include but are not limited to the following:
- Lead the end-to-end design of the HME data ecosystem, including defining system architectures, integration points (e.g., via SAP BTP for middleware, data lakes, and APIs), and workflows to ingest, analyze, and act on data from sources like CanBus, OEM telemetry, oil analysis, SmartFleetDX, and inspectionsReview teardown, NDT, and reassembly reports; ensure complete and auditable QA documentation.
- Ensure designs align with Barrick's goals for predictive maintenance, reliability, budgeting accuracy, and lifecycle costing, incorporating scalability for multi-site rollout across AME.
- Ensure AMT and Dingo Trakka design and implementation aligns with the overarching ERP (SAP).
- Partner with Barrick LMC and AME IT teams, as well as integration specialists (e.g., third-party AM2 Systems), to build and test the ecosystem.
- Configure interfaces between SAP PM, AMT, Dingo Trakka, Deswik, and Xeras; resolve technical challenges like data synchronization, web services, and cloud/on-premise hosting (e.g., AWS/Azure).
- Ensure compliance with Barrick's data governance and security standards.
- Lead the implementation of the Asset Management solution (AMT) and Dingo Trakka, overseeing phased deployment focusing on SAP integration, core functionality for mobile assets, dynamic lifecycle costing, strategy optimization, and scenario analysis for AMT; and condition monitoring, rules-based decision engines, mobile apps for inspections/insights, and ERP notifications for Dingo Trakka.
- Coordinate go-live activities, such as system setup, user acceptance testing, and cutover from legacy processes, while minimizing disruptions to operations.
- Manage RPMGlobal and Dingo contractors throughout the project lifecycle, including scoping work, monitoring deliverables (e.g., software subscriptions, bundled services, technical consulting, and training), enforcing timelines, and ensuring adherence to the Global Framework Agreement (GFA).
- Assist in developing and refining improved asset management processes tailored to the new ecosystem, including advanced work management (e.g., short/long-term planning, scheduling, backlog management), reliability functions (e.g., breakdown avoidance, component tracking, warranty management), and budgeting (e.g., zero-based, data-driven forecasts integrated with Xeras).
- Promote and enforce Barrick’s Zero Harm culture through strict adherence to safety, health, and environmental regulations.
To be considered for the position, you must meet the following requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, IT or related field
- Trade certificate or advanced certifications in asset management (e.g., CMRP) or systems integration preferred
- Minimum of 10 years’ experience in mining maintenance/reliability, with expertise in HME systems, SAP PM, predictive analytics, and digital transformations
- Practical experience implementing similar systems within a resources company
