Digital Inspections Transformation
Optec supported a leading global mining company’s Australian coal assets business in modernising its inspection processes across NSW and QLD mining operations. The program replaced paper-based safety and compliance inspections with a fully digital solution integrated across enterprise systems. This work formed a key pillar of the organisation’s broader digital transformation strategy.
Roles Placed
Senior Project Manager (Digital Transformation)
The Challenge
The operator needed to transition 13 mine sites from manual inspection processes to a secure, scalable digital platform. The project required strong leadership, complex multi-system integration, strict security alignment, and coordination across Australian and global stakeholders to ensure safe, compliant, and consistent delivery.
Our Solution
The Digital Inspections program delivered improved safety, visibility, and efficiency through:
Full transition from paper to digital inspections
Enhanced accuracy, auditability, and reporting
Secure integrations with SAP, PowerBI, SharePoint, and AD
A scalable platform ready for future HSEC integration
The Outcome
Optec engaged a Senior Project Manager to lead the program across planning, delivery, and adoption. Key activities included:
Coordinating a four-stage rollout across 14 mine sites
Aligning with IT&S teams and corporate security
Managing system integrations via MuleSoft APIs
Overseeing SSO/MFA implementation for secure access
Driving change management across operational teams
Long-Term Value
The program established a secure, enterprise-grade digital inspection platform and a clear pathway to the organisation’s 2026 HSEC rollout. It improved operational consistency, strengthened compliance, and created a foundation for ongoing digital improvement across mining operations.
