PROFILE
I have four years experience as a Project Manager of major change projects in the UK with the Environment Agency and 3 years experience as a geologist working in Australia for Anglo Coal Australia, BHP Billiton and Uranium Equities on a wide range of exploration activities and mine development and production projects. My career history has enabled me to attain a strong background of geological knowledge across multiple commodities (Coal, Copper, Gold, Silver, Iron, Uranium), remote area geological reconnaissance and sampling, practical field experience managing and executing multiple drilling programmes, demonstrated management of staff and contractors, maturity to implement site OH&S and environmental policies, applying geophysical exploration methods, downhole gamma logging, using multiple assay methods including portable niton XRF, competence in using multiple geological software packages to model, digitize and assess deposits. Experienced in stakeholder management and working with indigenous groups. Fully business aware across multiple functions such as communications, HR, H&S, Office Management, Process, IT, Planning, Business Development and Project Management. I am an easy-going yet professional person and work effectively in both corporate or remote site settings as part of virtual teams, physical teams (large through to small) and independently on my own.
