agree  ormiston: If this fits the bill: Mine shift managers supervise staff, manage plant and equipment, optimise productivity and ensure safety at the mine on a day

agree  philgoddard: It means "watch" in a military context, which is a similar idea to "shift". https://context.reverso.net/translation/spanish-english/jefe...

chief mine guard


Explanation:
Chief mine guard

Childers then sought out his ***chief mine guard***, Jim Daniels, who had already learned of impending trouble and was organizing a ten-man posse to meet the truck at Verda.

http://www.kentuckymonthly.com/culture/history/the-price-of-...
At the first shot, the column jerked to a stop. One of the first men to leap out of the cars was Jim Daniels, **chief mine guard**, special deputy and one of the most hated anti-union officers in Harlan County. He immediately took cover behind an earthen mound, but when he peered over the top, a miner shot him in the head.

chief mine superintendent


Explanation:
A sort of amalgam of the first two answers
I don't think this person is simply a guard
More like a manager

I have no doubt that this person "manages shifts"
But I think that would be too restrictive

"Superintendent" covers the wide range of duties involved
