Geotechnical Coordination Across LKAB's Ore Bodies: I manage the coordination of geotechnical core data for LKAB's Kiruna, Malmberget, Svappavaara, and Per Geijer ore bodies, overseeing a total R&R of 4.6 Bt. This role involves coordinating high-volume logging programs with exploration and operations departments, achieving over 200km of geotechnical logging annually.Workflow Creation and Software Implementation:I am responsible for creating and delivering efficient routines and workflows, as well as implementing software solutions. My technical expertise includes modelling the Per Geijer IOA ore body.Reporting and Drill Planning:I provide reporting at scoping and PFS levels, and handle drill planning, coordination, and delivery. My role requires extensive cooperation and communication with exploration and operations departments to provide in-house expertise.
