Job description

Jora Malaysia will close on 9th September 2026. Thank you for being with us, we are cheering you on as you continue your career journey.

• Assist in tracking production KPIs against targets (tonnage output, recovery rate, downtime %) and flag variances to management
• Support coordination between site teams and HQ on equipment maintenance schedules and breakdown reporting
• Assist in monitoring fuel/consumables usage and cost tracking at sites

Compliance & Documentation

• Liaise with relevant authorities (JMG, State Land Office, Department of Environment) on licence renewal follow-ups and submission of required documents
• Assist in preparing and organizing documents for internal/external audits (ESG, safety, environmental compliance)
• Support in monitoring environmental compliance items — e.g., water discharge monitoring, rehabilitation/reclamation progress, EIA conditions
• Maintain a centralized tracking system/dashboard for all licence and permit expiry dates (this could tie into your existing "track licence expiry" point — worth specifying it should be a live tracker, not just ad hoc)

Safety & Risk

• Assist in monitoring site safety compliance (PPE usage, safety briefings, incident/near-miss reporting)
• Support in compiling accident/incident reports and follow-up corrective actions

Reporting & Systems

• Assist in digitalizing site reporting processes (e.g., building templates, dashboards, or simple tracking systems for site data)
• Consolidate data from multiple sites into management-ready summaries with visual aids (charts, trend analysis)

Site Visits

• Conduct spot-checks on manpower attendance and equipment usage against submitted reports (verification role, not just review)
• Assist in coordinating with external consultants/surveyors during site visits (e.g., stope/pit progress surveys)

Job Requirement

• SPM / Diploma in Business, Engineering, Geology, Operations Management, or related field.
• Basic understanding of mining or heavy industry operations is an advantage.
• Strong coordination, communication, and follow-up skills.
• Able to analyse data, prepare reports, and work with Excel/Google Sheets.
• Willing to travel occasionally to sites within Malaysia (with transport provided).
• Able to work independently and handle multiple projects simultaneously.
• Language: Malay and English; Mandarin will be advantage.
