Employment History:
2011 –2013 Cameco Corporation; Saskatoon, SK
Duties included: Underground Mapping: structures, alteration, Core Logging, modeling and interpretation of field data to facilitate mine design, support requirements and long-term monitoring activities, updating mine design for the Jet-Boring System mining method, sequencing production for the Life of Mine the required learning Visual Basic programming in excel. This production sequence was based on the JBS systems physical restraints and was needed to manipulate the design data for use in Vulcan 3D, Surpac, Minesched, and incorporation into the Life of Mine schedule and facilitate optimization for the annual production. Implementations of new digital logging methods in excel in anticipation of a software upgrade and Geotechnical database that incorporated field mapping and core logging measurements; this database was then used to define structure sets, stereonets and rose-diagrams utilized in the Geotechnical Assessment of planned development. As the Vulcan 3D expert I was an integral part in making sure the Engineering, Survey and Geology departments were able to produce the necessary models and plots for use in the required interpretations and designs, as well as continually updating and creating workflows and procedures for increased efficiency and accuracy. Management of technicians and less experienced professionals requiring coordinating with Underground and Surface foreman to ensure the data collection and interpretation was completed in a timely fashion in order to meet regulatory commitments, minimize radiological exposure targets, and meet schedule milestones. Identify and address safety concerns raised, organize monthly safety meetings, and participate in middle and upper management meetings as required to provide technical guidance when needed.
