As an accomplished, versatile, hands-on Process and Metallurgical Engineer and Project Manager with 16+ years' experience, I help mining and metal companies achieve their goals through driving operations across diverse phases of large, complex projects. I am known for delivering project outcomes on time and to the expected levels of quality, with a demonstrable ability to identify and manage risks within a project. My unique skill set includes assisting continuous improvement programs and handling both the technical and operational elements of applying metallurgical processes to treat minerals and metals. I have effectively planned and deployed mining large-scale projects with significant budgets, ensuring quality, timely delivery, and the maximization of resources. My results have driven the trajectory of my career in roles of increasing responsibility: from early in my career with the Bindura Nickel Corporation, to most recently with Zimplats Base Metal Refinery BFS.I am strongly committed to safety, quality, cost efficiency, and sustainability – introducing systems, best practices, and functional structures to surpass challenging objectives. ____________► My areas of expertise include: Plant Metallurgy Processes Leadership, Project Management, Strategic Planning & Project Execution, Technical Mineral & Metal Processing Oversight, Production & Operational Management, General Management, Project Process Engineering, Research and Development, Design and Manage Metallurgical Test Work Program, New Plant Construction/Commissioning, Process Plant Optimisation, Operational Process Improvements, Full Feasibility Study, Metallurgical Accounting, Quality Assurance, Risk Management, Contracts Management, CAPEX and OPEX Budget Management, Cost Management, SHEQ, Metallurgical Standards Maintenance, Human Resource Management____________I enjoy building and coaching cross-functional teams — empowering others to excel. As a leader, I treat others the way I want to be treated. Clarity in communications, trust, and respect propels a healthy work culture— and professional and mining company success.I’ve leveraged a diverse set of skills in various industries across project management – combined with people skills – to create many “wins” for mining companies. I’m always willing to step in – and step up to challenges, while keeping the goals of the mining company in the forefront of my work.___________I’m on LinkedIn to strengthen professional relations and make new connections.
