Resolute, organised, and highly skilled Geologist, I have special knowledge within the mining sector. I am focused on continuous process improvement innovation and driving cost control (cost saving / no wastage measures) to promote available resources and budget adherence. Within my last position I successfully spearheaded the implementation and development for all systems from scratch after the mine was flooded for 5 years and was in care and maintenance and re-opened. I believe in team development and skills transfer, therefore, it is important for me to be a supportive leader, mentor and offer guidance to my team.I am meticulously detail orientated and analytical, my organisational, communication, and data analysis capabilities position me ready to thrive in any challenging capacity.Some highlights of my experience include:• I have gained extensive knowledge within diamond mining. My knowledge also includes conducting data analysis, modelling, sampling, surveys, investigations, and monitoring.• Managing project support, resources, milestones, and progress reporting.• Cultivating strong relationships, demonstrating strong leadership, support, communication, and collaboration skills.• Thinking on my feet, defusing, and utilising problem solving in difficult situations.• Utilising technical, analytical, and motivational skills to propel projects and teams to peak results.
