The Integrated Remote Operating Centre (IROC) Control Room Superintendent is responsible for leading multi-site control room operations across ASARCO’s copper business, including Mine, Mill, SX-EW, and Autonomous Haulage Systems (AHS). This role provides strategic oversight of Control Room Supervisors and their teams, ensuring safe, efficient, and reliable execution of daily operations in alignment with production plans and business objectives.

Reporting to the Manager – Unity Hub, the Superintendent plays a critical role in driving operational discipline, maintaining data integrity, and enabling technology-enabled decision-making across the value chain. By fostering collaboration, building team capability, and ensuring alignment between site stakeholders and the Unity Hub, the Superintendent ensures the IROC delivers maximum value to ASARCO’s integrated operations.

This position is based in Mesa, but to maintain strong working relationships with site operations and stakeholders, the Superintendent is expected to visit sites on a regular basis.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and mentor a team of Control Room Supervisors overseeing mine, mill, SX-EW, and AHS operations.
• Monitor and coordinate integrated operations across the full value chain, from mine to cathode production.
• Ensure effective application of advanced process control (APC) systems in the mill to optimize throughput, recovery, energy efficiency, and metallurgical stability.
• Oversee SX-EW performance monitoring, including leach solutions, reagent usage, electrowinning cell efficiency, and cathode quality.
• Drive effective use of fleet management and AHS systems in the mine to align haulage and drilling with production schedules.
• Maintain operational data integrity, ensuring reporting accuracy for production metrics, delays, blends, recovery, and shift outcomes.
• Lead structured shift reviews, ensuring lessons learned are captured and shared across functions.
• Support operational readiness for new control room tools, technologies, and automation systems.

• Collaborate with the Principal – Mine, Mill, and SX-EW Operational Excellence roles to embed best practices across the IROC.
• Champion a zero-harm safety culture and ensure compliance with ASARCO’s safety, health, and environmental standards.
• Provide structured performance reports and updates to the General Manager – Unity Hub and senior leadership.
• Act as the key liaison between the IROC, site operations, technical services, and business functions.
• Set and reinforce the workplace health and safety culture within IROC operations.
• Ensure all incidents, including those related to mining, milling, SX-EW, and AHS, are reported and escalated promptly.
• Support reviews of SOPs, risk assessments, and safety protocols for integrated operations and remote control.
• Translate production plans, operational risks, and business priorities into clear, actionable instructions and decision tools for control room operators.
• Ensure all documentation enables fast, correct decisions under real-time operating conditions, including abnormal and upset scenarios.
• Validate documentation through direct observation of control room execution and adjust based on operator feedback and performance outcomes.
