Experience in underground and opencast, gold, cement and aggregates and GIS.

As a senior geologist I dont feel that we are doing what we are suppose to, which is extending the life of mine. We do a lot of underground mapping, drilling and updating of plans. I work on microstation but nowadays we are short staff thus I need to go underground more often and do mapping. The most challenging aspects of the job is the difficult areas underground and having to walk alone as we do not have any assistants. My microstation has made a lot of progress since I was using it a lot. I am currently doing my MSc MRM through the company and by doing this I have learnt a lot, I see the mining from a totally new perspective. I will reconsider how things are being done now in comparison to the past. At most of the shafts we worked as as team but at certain shafts where I worked there is these groups and if they dont like you you are not part of the team.

Pros: Good benefits
Cons: Dangerous underground conditions

Dedicated to deliver on time and without any problems

Start day early with meeting between managers of different departments en what problems they encountered from previous day and if they need urgent assistance from my dept. I have a very good relationship with co-workers as it is essential for to have good communication to solve problems and get work done on time. As I am a service department to production it is important to provide a service to them on time and without any complications which will impact on production. It is very satisfying to complete daily tasks to standard and safely. It still remains a challenging job to get work done especially when working with different groups of people. Treating other people with respect helps to make it easier.

Pros: Good company to work for.
Cons: Mine close to end of life

Looking for new challenges.

Daily, weekly and monthly reports that should be submitted. The co-workers are of different backgrounds but because I easily adjust I fit in and have created an understanding with my sub-ordinates and the workforce at large, although some may be old the work relation has grown into a normal culture one learns to respect each individual. Working with people who understand and those that you can change their lives with many aspects in general. Challenges are the deadlines which have to be always met within the demands from the requestors above.

Pros: Blossoming the gift and prospering.
Cons: Barriers for growth
