• Conduct underground inspections to assess excavation stability and ground support system performance and integrity. • Assess mining layouts and extraction sequences and provide feedback to the Planning Department on mining layouts and design.• Develop rehabilitation prints and make rock engineering recommendations when identified as being necessary.• Conduct geotechnical field mapping (rock mass classification), drill core geotechnical logging, and rock mass characterization.• Complete long-hole stope design analysis, initiate cable bolt plans, and work with the planning engineers to review, make recommendations, and approve engineering mine plans.• Analyse seismic activity and initiate the seismic Trigger Action Response Plan when necessary. The analysis is also conducted when evaluating the potential to permit an early seismic ground clear.• Provide daily seismic reports to the Production and Rock Engineering team.• Manage the seismic system health status and the seismic system expansion.• Liaise with Production teams pertaining to ground control issues or initiatives and identify, and address, enquiries related to ground control from Production personnel.

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

• Inspected construction site, performed soil compaction tests on the soil fill, and ensured compliance with construction plans and specifications. Interacted and attended meetings with engineers, designers, and contractors to discuss work progress. • Conducted material sampling and laboratory testing to determine the physical and mechanical characteristics of the soil sample. Maintained equipment calibrated and in suitable working condition.• Worked unsupervised and used time management skills to provide quality assurance to field-placed concrete in multiple sites. Performed concrete strength tests on the cured concrete specimen using a compressive strength break machine.• Prepared daily and weekly reports summarizing detailed records of observations and testing data. • Assisted in the training, supporting, and developing of junior team members where applicable

Pugwash Junction, Nova Scotia, Canada

• Learned mining operations through rotations in various departments, such as underground production, ventilation, processing plant, and maintenance.• Assisted with monitoring and surveying mine ventilation and ore grade and updated survey data collected using AutoCAD.• Collaborated with the Engineering Manager on design projects, including optimization of working space around the mine, reduction of electricity consumption through green use of energy, construction of mine refuge station, and rehabilitation of mine land. • Utilized SAP software to create, update, and close job order notifications, order and schedule material deliveries, report track maintenance and labor hours, and produce material numbers.• Cooperated with maintenance crew to identify, design, quote, and prepare permits to replace machine components, such as safeguards, access railing, and sampling hatch.
