  • IRGO Consulting Ltd. : ( 11/10/2021 - 18/04/2025 )
    • Geotechnical engineer

    • As a Geotechnical Engineer I worked on a wide range of geotechnical consulting projects, collaborating with mining, hydrogeology, and civil infrastructure teams to ensure smooth execution.

      My responsibilities included planning and coordinating geotechnical field investigations, managing data collection from site work, laboratory testing, and archival research. Additionally, I conducted geotechnical analysis and reporting, preparing geological cross-sections, 3D models, settlement assessments, and slope stability studies. My work also involved operating GNSS equipment and UAVs (drones) for surveying and mapping.

      Through these experiences, I built strong technical expertise in soil mechanics, geotechnical interpretation, and digital ground modeling. I developed a solid understanding of ground behavior and risk assessment, applying my skills in Civil 3D, Rocscience Slide, GIS, and Plaxis 3D to analyze complex site conditions. I also strengthened my communication and coordination skills, ensuring effective collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.

      During my time in this role, I introduced workflow improvements by implementing Civil 3D, GIS, and custom Excel tools, enhancing data accuracy and report efficiency. I successfully coordinated multiple projects, ensuring timely completion and high-quality output. Additionally, I expanded surveying and site mapping capabilities through UAV operations, improving geotechnical data collection and visualization. My contributions helped streamline internal processes, optimizing project execution.
  • Vibrolab Ltd. (part of Minervo group) : ( 01/02/2021 - 08/10/2021 )
    • Seismic Technician (student role)

    • I conducted field seismic measurements to analyze vibrations induced by mining activity, holding professional-level responsibilities despite my student title.

      My role involved deploying seismic sensors, collecting data from active mining sites, and preparing technical reports to support risk assessments and regulatory compliance. Additionally, I assisted in mining site setup, ensuring compliance with safety protocols and operational efficiency.

      Through this experience, I developed a strong understanding of seismic wave behavior and its effects on structures and human perception. I gained practical insight into mining site preparation, learning key geophysical monitoring techniques and engineering considerations for blast-induced vibrations. Working in an active mining environment helped refine my ability to analyze ground response and contribute to seismic risk mitigation strategies.

      Additionally, I became familiar with industry-standard seismic equipment and analysis methods, improving my ability to interpret field data and contribute valuable insights to mining operations. My exposure to geophysical monitoring in a mining setting has deepened my understanding of vibration impact assessments, a crucial factor in mining safety and infrastructure protection.
  • Atol 9 Ltd. : ( 01/09/2017 - 08/10/2021 )
    • Mining geologist (part time / student role)

    • I worked part-time alongside my studies and other jobs on mining-related projects, focusing on reserve documentation and geological work in active quarry environments.

      My responsibilities included preparing technical mining documentation, such as reserve estimation drawings and spatial data analysis, to support resource planning. Additionally, I assisted in geological mapping and field data collection, ensuring accurate interpretation of quarry site conditions.

      Through this role, I developed practical experience in mining workflows, gaining early exposure to industry-standard documentation and resource estimation methods. I strengthened my skills in CAD and geological mapping tools, supporting data visualization for quarry-based geological assessments. Working in an active mining setting, I built a solid foundation in geological site analysis, refining my ability to interpret spatial data and contribute to reserve modeling.

      This position provided valuable hands-on experience with mining documentation processes, giving me technical proficiency in reserve estimation while reinforcing my ability to analyze geological and spatial data for resource planning. These insights have prepared me to transition effectively into more advanced geological and geotechnical roles.
  • IRGO Consulting Ltd. : ( 02/09/2019 - 29/01/2021 )
    • Engineering geologist (student role)

    • I worked on borehole logging and geotechnical data handling, assisting in coordinating field investigations across various infrastructure and engineering projects. Despite my student title, I undertook responsibilities equivalent to a professional level, ensuring accurate data collection, documentation, and site coordination.

      My role involved liaising with property owners, supervisors, and field teams to facilitate efficient investigations while operating geodetic equipment (GNSS antennas) for precise surveying.

      Through this experience, I developed strong geotechnical field skills, gaining expertise in investigation planning, soil mechanics testing, and geotechnical reporting. I worked closely with multidisciplinary teams, refining my communication and coordination abilities, which proved crucial in stakeholder interactions and project execution. This hands-on exposure provided a solid foundation in geotechnical analysis, preparing me for increasingly technical roles.

      Additionally, I became proficient in data interpretation and reporting, supporting engineering geology and rock mechanics assessments. My ability to collaborate across disciplines and adapt to field challenges strengthened my capacity to contribute to complex ground investigations.
