Coronado moves Bitzer to development role, appoints new COO
Brisbane-headquartered coal miner Coronado Global Resources has made changes to its executive leadership team, with COO Jeff Bitzer transitioning to the newly established chief development officer (CDO) role and Craig Manz joining next month as COO.
Bitzer has been with Coronado since 2013 and has been in the role of COO since July 2023.
As CDO, he will be responsible for major capital expenditure projects, including the completion of current expansion plans, as well as global technical development functions.
Manz has more than 25 years of mining experience, most recently with Compass Minerals, having previously held roles with BHP, Vale and Anglo American across Australia, Africa and Canada.
As Coronado’s COO, Manz will be accountable for safety; the achievement of production goals, productivity improvements and cost efficiencies; and operational excellence and continuous improvement.
"This executive-level organisational change marks a pivotal moment for Coronado. Through the appointment of Craig, and the establishment of the CDO role, we continue to lay a strong foundation for the ongoing growth and success of our company,” commented CEO Douglas Thompson.
