Job Responsibilities:A. Operational / Technical / Core Duties Tyre Condition Inspection & Readiness Inspect tyres and equipment daily to confirm operational readiness and identify damage, wear, or abnormal conditions. Diagnose tyre condition and recommend repair, rotation, or replacement actions to minimise production disruption. Verify rim and wheel assembly condition during inspections to prevent failures and repeat incidents. Tyre Change, Fitment & Repair Supervision Supervise tyre removal and installation to ensure correct fitment procedures and safe execution standards are applied. Confirm inflation activities follow safe inflation principles and exclusion zones to reduce stored-energy risk. Oversee tyre repair activities, including authorised tyre welding/repair tasks, to meet quality and safety requirements. Work Prioritisation & Crew Scheduling Prioritise tyre-related work orders to reduce safety exposure and prevent unplanned equipment downtime. Schedule and allocate tyre bay resources daily to meet planned and unplanned work demand efficiently. Coordinate tyre bay execution against maintenance plans to maintain availability and minimise operational delays. Tyre Failure Analysis & Continuous Improvement Analyze damaged tyres to identify causes and recommend corrective actions to prevent recurrence and reduce losses. Track recurring failure patterns and provide evidence-based recommendations to improve tyre life and utilisation. Support improvement initiatives that reduce scrap rates and increase average service hours of tyres. Systems, Reporting & Technical Documentation Record tyre movements, changes, and technical actions in the tyre management system to ensure traceable history. Maintain SAP entries relevant to tyre work execution to support reporting, governance, and work control. Issue daily/weekly/monthly technical reports on tyre condition, scheduled work, and unplanned events to leadership. Inventory & Procurement Support (Data-Driven) Identify tyre, rim, and consumable requirements based on condition, consumption, and forecasted work demand. Provide inventory and consumption data to support procurement planning and prevent stock-outs impacting operations. Validate tyre and rim stock records with stores to ensure accuracy and readiness for planned maintenance. B. Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) / Compliance Duties Tyre & Rim Safety-Critical Controls Enforce tyre/rim safe-work procedures and ensure team compliance with site rules and critical controls. Apply safe deflation and inflation practices, including controlling exposure to lock-ring trajectory hazards. Ensure tyre bay risk assessments and controls are followed for heavy handling, high pressure, and stored energy. Quality and Compliance Documentation Maintain accurate inspection and repair records to support compliance evidence and continuous improvement reporting. Report safety hazards, near-misses, and tyre-related incidents promptly and support investigations when required. C. Leadership / People / Team Management Frontline Supervision & Capability Development Lead and coach tyre bay team members to follow technical standards, safety requirements, and quality expectations. Conduct task briefings and verify competency for high-risk tyre activities before work commences. Monitor team performance and discipline, addressing non-compliance and escalating capability gaps to management. D. Financial / Budget / Asset / Resource Management Tyre Cost and Asset Utilisation Support Support tyre cost control by improving tyre life through correct maintenance, condition-based decisions, and reduced losses. Provide data to support annual consumption planning and proactive purchasing strategies for tyres and rims. Recommend operational adjustments based on observed tyre damage trends to reduce waste and premature failures.

B. Preferred Education / Certifications (if any) Formal tyre/wheel/rim safety and management training aligned to mining controls and SOPs. Training certificate for tyre management system use (“Kling” or SGM system). Supervisory training (frontline leadership / coaching). C. Required Professional Licenses / Permits Valid driving license. Tyre handler / tyre loader operating licence (required where used on site). Site permits/authorizations for tyre bay high-risk work (as per SGM rules). D. Required Work Experience Minimum 6 years’ experience working with heavy equipment tyres, preferably in mining environments. Experience supervising tyre bay teams and managing tyre inspection, change, and repair workflows. Experience using maintenance systems (SAP) and tyre program tracking tools for reporting and traceability. E. Required Technical Skills & Knowledge Technical Knowledge:Stored-energy hazards for earthmover tyres and multi-piece rims (lock-ring/trajectory risk). Safe inflation/deflation principles (remote inflation, clip-on chuck, stand clear, controlled deflation). Tyre bay controls: exclusion zones, line-of-fire management, PPE, barricading, emergency response basics. Inspection criteria for heavy-duty tyres (tread, sidewall, bead/valve area) and identification of unsafe conditions. Pressure/temperature impact on tyre health; signs of under/over-inflation and heat-related damage. Fitment/demount fundamentals (rim compatibility, lock-ring seating checks, safe handling/rigging). Repair limitations and compliance expectations (permitted repairs, scrap criteria, SOP alignment). Traceability concepts: tyre ID/serial tracking, position history, movements, repair history, audit readiness. SAP basics for work control (notifications, work orders, confirmations) linked to tyre maintenance history. Common tyre failure modes and operational contributors (haul road, speed, loading, alignment/suspension, operator practices). Technical Skills:Tyre risk control competence: apply stored-energy risk controls and verify inflation/deflation safeguards. Pressure management proficiency: set, verify, and trend tyre pressures using calibrated tools and standards. Condition assessment: diagnose tyre condition and damage patterns using structured inspection criteria. Fitment quality assurance: validate tyre/rim fitment readiness against technical requirements. Repair compliance validation: assess repair suitability and confirm adherence to standards. Tyre history & traceability management: maintain complete lifecycle records for reporting and audits. Maintenance system (SAP) technical literacy: create, update, and reconcile tyre maintenance records. Failure analysis & trend interpretation: identify patterns and translate into improvement opportunities. Technical reporting competence: produce clear, evidence-based tyre findings and recommendations. F. Soft Skills & Behaviors Safety-first mindset & assertiveness Intervene immediately on unsafe tyre/rim practices and explain risks. Confirm critical controls are in place before work starts. Maintain “no shortcuts” discipline under production pressure. Risk-based prioritization & adaptability Prioritize tyre bay work based on safety risk, equipment criticality, and operational impact. Re-plan quickly and calmly when conditions or priorities change. Communicate priority changes early and align the team. Clear communication & reporting discipline Produce concise shift/weekly updates (status, actions, open risks, required escalation/decisions). Use structured, factual language supported by data (IDs, readings, photos). Escalate issues with clear risk/impact and recommended next steps.
