Responsibilities

• Critical Risk Identification & Ownership
• The Superintendent needs to fully own Barrick's 10 fatal risk categories. This includes maintaining current bowtie analyses, challenging control relevance, identifying emerging risks, and ensuring the theoretical framework aligns with how work is actually performed—not how someone thinks it should be performed.
• Critical Control Implementation & Standardization
• Accountable for ensuring controls aren't just documented but consistently implemented across operations. This requires translating bowtie logic into practical work procedures, establishing clear role accountabilities, monitoring compliance through supervision, and resolving practical barriers to control execution.
• Critical Control Verification (CCV) & Assurance
• Design and execution of CCV programs using checklists that test effectiveness, not just presence. The Superintendent personally conducts daily verifications and ensures the team of Fatal Risk Officers understand control logic deeply enough to detect degradation before incidents.
• Auditing & Control Effectiveness Assessment
• Conducting three-level assurance reviews (internal self-verification, management review, independent governance review) to confirm controls are achieving the intended risk reduction. Critically, this includes testing whether controls prevent hazards or merely manage consequences.
• Control Owner Capability & Accountability
• Establishing clear accountability, defining competency requirements, assessing capability, and ensuring control owners have resources and authority to execute. Including succession planning and performance management.
• Reporting & Governance
• Providing transparent monthly/quarterly dashboards showing verification completion, deficiency status, corrective action closure rates, trend data, and escalating material issues immediately.
• Continuous Improvement & Innovation
• Benchmarking against industry best practices, evaluating technology solutions for control enhancement, testing new verification methods, and sharing innovations across Barrick's portfolio.

• Ability to work effectively in a culturally diverse environment.
