The Integration Manager ensures that long-, medium- and short-term mine plans are aligned, executable and translated into coordinated operational schedules.

• Confirm that planned work is practical, adequately scoped, appropriately sequenced, resourced and ready for execution.
• Maintain an appropriate planning focus across WBS governance, 2-week execution planning and 12-week planning. Where the existing 10%/60%/30% allocation is formally required, apply it as the agreed planning emphasis.

2. Execution Readiness and Schedule Assurance

• Assure the quality and executability of integrated schedules before work is committed for execution.
• Monitor schedule compliance, identify deviations and coordinate timely recovery actions with accountable stakeholders.
• Identify critical backlog and incomplete work blocks, assess their impact and ensure that they are reprioritised or rescheduled through the appropriate governance process.
• Support Production Services in planning interventions and evaluating and mitigating execution risks.
• Evaluate system health and planning discipline to support sustainable operational performance.

3. Prioritisation, Risk and Decision Support

• Act as the mine's central coordination point for integrated planning across production, maintenance and outsourced service support.
• Facilitate impartial prioritisation, make trade-offs visible and support timely decisions that protect the overall plan.
• Advise shaft and colliery working groups and management teams on planning risks, schedule compliance and threats to the achievement of operational objectives.
• Escalate unresolved conflicts, capacity constraints and material execution risks to the appropriate decision-making forum.
• Track agreed actions and hold accountable stakeholders to planning commitments and recovery plans.

4. Stakeholder Integration and Capacity Assurance

• Coordinate with the Colliery Operations Centre and other departments on the colliery to maintain alignment, resolve planning conflicts and support clear communication.
• Collaborate with other Integration Managers and the Central Integration Manager to assure capacity, manage dependencies and improve planning consistency across operations.
• Integrate the requirements and constraints of production, engineering, maintenance, planning, Production Services and outsourced service providers.
• Promote an enterprise-wide perspective and prevent functional priorities from undermining the overall mine plan.
