Developed project schedules, worked with contractors to establish budgets and timelines for project completion.

Served as Acting Mine Superintendent, Jan to Aug 2021Developed processes and procedures that reduced injury/accident rates within the mine departmentResponsible for hiring of production operators for mine operationsOversaw modifications to existing mine haulage and access routes which led to safer light vehicle/heavy equipment interactionsOversaw four production crews during 24/7 operations

Responsible for short to long range mine planningOversaw engineering tasks related to mine expansion and permitting activities

Direct supervisor of twenty person mine crew, responsible for safe and efficient execution of mine plan.Selected and developed talented crew members for lead person and backup lead person roles.

Primarily tasked with long range mine planning; ultimately increased project NPV by over 50% through design modifications within existing permit boundaries.

Reduced life of mine pit stripping ratio by 50% through design modifications.Responsible for development of short term mine plans and pit sequencing, which includes working closely with mining contractor group to insure efficient and successful plan implementation.Charged with mid to long term mine planning, design, and modifications

Designed long term mine plans for multiple scenariosDeveloped and implemented engineering and surveying procedures during mine start up phaseCoordinated short term mining activities between contract drill/blast crew and Comstock mine personnel, responsible for all aspects of short term mine planning

Responsible for all aspects of short term planning for 65,000 stpd open pit silver mine; including mine design, ore control, blast design and sequencing.Worked closely with mine department personnel in both planning and implementing mining resumption activities during start-up phase. Designed several long term alternatives and scenarios for life of mine planning, including pit/dump designs, leach pad alternatives and post-closure contouring.
