Adbri

Audits and inspections - training - ensure site compliance - creating reports and looking at trends - Cintellate management - risk assessments - incident investigation

I enjoy the level of both routine and flexibility that comes with this role - I like that everyday is different & you never know what problems will arise, but at the same time a level of routine still remains.

As the sole graduate engineer in NSW, I've had the chance to collaborate with various departments. My initial rotation was in the technical lab, where I not only learned a great deal but also helped the team complete a significant amount of pending work and supported them during a NATA audit, marking a personal milestone. Presently, I'm in my second rotation at the quarries, dedicating two months to each. Here, I've acquired insights into the planning, blasting, operations, sales, and environmental aspects of quarry management. Additionally, I was able to assist the quarry team by upgrading their site induction, putting dangerous chemicals in ChemAlert, auditing confined spaces, creating isolation maps, taking part in a few blasting operations, and even stomping a bomb.

I schedule my time between the Quarry and Concrete based on the amount of work and urgency of the task.

As a graduate mining engineer, I develop pit design of Adbri quarries of this year and life of mine. Also perform geology survey as well, it means I collect samples and test it and assign which area of pit to be extracted this year to meet the target grade
