EXPERIENCE
Geology Intern
K+S Windsor Salt Ltd.- Mine Department
Conducted weekly, monthly, and annual ventilation and ground control assessments,
making recommendations for remediation and insuring safety of employees.
Preformed daily analysis of mining and milling data (geological inputs and production
outputs). Preformed mapping duties to assist in the creation of geological maps and
cross sections and to assist with planning. Created procedural change (MOC)
documentation to ensure safety of employees and increase efficiency. Managed
various projects and supervised contractor crews ensuring all OH&S and company
guild lines were followed.
May 2015 to August 2015
Atmospheric Fines Drying Intern
Shell Canada - Tailings Operations
May 2014 to December 2014
Created short range plans and daily execution plans to assist our tailings operations
team. Planned and worked as a team to plan projects including polymer plant
moves, service water supply lines, creation of emergency shutdown procedures.
Managed tailings ponds water volume, water chemistry, and tailings material
storage. Conducted analysis of geotechnical stability and construction of berm and
dykes. Conducted operational reporting in compliance of Directive 74. Managed
operational and project aspects such as safety, logistics and operational excellence.
As a part of Shells internship program I conducted a detailed root cause analysis of
downtime within the atmospheric fines drying operations and created a detailed
plan to increase tailings treatment production, reduce downtime, reduce costs, and
increased safety by reducing time spent on high risk activities (confined space entry).
Geological Engineering Intern
Canadian Salt Company Limited - Mine Department
During two separate work terms I conducted weekly, monthly, and annual
ventilation testing, surveyed mine progress, updated and created mine and technical
drawings. Planned and scheduled work to be conducted during annual maintenance
shutdown. Assisted in ground control monitoring. Supervised small contractor crews
