Planning to graduate with civil engineering (honours) degree.

During my vacation student position with Peabody's Coppabella and Moorvale Operations, I had the incredible opportunity to learn about truck and shovel. Throughout the winter, my role primarily revolved around short-term mine planning for Moorvale and Moorvale South. I actively contributed to the functioning of the truck and shovel operations, gaining invaluable experience along the way. One of my key responsibilities was designing dumps and digs using Vulcan software and doing weekly planning to meet coal targets. I also experienced spry modeling where I would take the mid-term plan and apply it to the short-term space. This stint with Peabody's Coppabella and Moorvale Operations not only enhanced my technical skills but also honed my problem-solving and adaptability in a dynamic industry.

During my time at Peabody Energy's Coppabella and Moorvale mines, I had the opportunity to work in Drill in Blast as a mining engineer. I was exposed to D&B design processes that were valuable to my development. The experience gained during my time at CMJV has only solidified my commitment to pursuing a long-term career in the mining industry. With a clear vision for my professional growth, I am eager to continue my journey at CMJV and build upon my existing expertise while contributing to the continued success of the company.

Worked in the ventilation department at Oaky North doing day to day jobs and assisted in project planning. Also had some experience in gas drainage.
