1) Tell us a bit about yourself

​

I was born in Melbourne, but lived in different Australian locations while growing up as the family followed my father's job. I'm a mining engineer and have been in resources and mining for over 30 years (including both Australian and international roles). I have a long mining operational history with experience ranging across the entire life cycle of a resources projects, from exploration through to development and construction, out to operations and closure.

2) Tell us about your position at Mining Plus

​

I have been with Mining Plus for 6 years, currently based in sunny Perth. My role at MP is to take care of the operations division of Mining Plus throughout Australia. I also manage the seconded employees and service agreements- where Mining Plus provides a technical services teams into site based exploration, development, and operational situations.

3) Tell us about your journey to your current role

I initially started working when I was 10 years old (and haven't stopped!) In the early days I would deliver newspapers and milk door-to-door, worked in various brick paving crews, did some bar work, and worked in a road maintenance group.

My mining and resources career started with tertiary studies in both Adelaide and Ballarat, with my first mining based position being an exploration field assistant. I then progressed through a variety of mine operational, laboring and technical assistant roles, before gaining my engineering degree, becoming an engineer and progressing through technical and management positions in that field.

​

4) What do you enjoy about your particular position and working at Mining Plus?

​

I've become addicted to the variety and somewhat unpredictable nature of the role, and the various types of excitement that it can bring. I enjoy the flexible working arrangements that Mining Plus provides and being in communication with people who come from a wide variety of backgrounds and collectively make for a very good working environment. 

​

5) Any hobbies and what do you do in your free time? 

​

Travel, spend time with my family, meditate, boating, cycle and attending to the every need of a large dog!
