Gathered data in the field as an Underground Surveyor. I then brought the data into the computer utilizing Maptek's Vulcan software to determine daily and monthly reporting totals. Then built 3D triangulations to reconcile month end totals. Also filled in on drill & blast designs and other various engineering roles when needed. Execute underground and surface surveys of active areas, install survey control and McGarf laser instruments. Import and digitize data in Vulcan Computer Software to draft daily driving layouts and update month end reports. Complete daily and monthly reporting of all active development and production areas. Compose triangulations in Vulcan Software to calculate volumes and over break of active headings for end of month calculations and reporting. Create Computer Aided Drilling profiles utilizing TCAD to maximize efficiency in active headings. Collectively work with underground drillers to optimize designs. Design Long Hole Stoping panels in Vulcan, create drill plans utilizing Underground Manager, and markup navigation points in the field.

Started out as a Pit Crew Supervisor for approximately one year learning the various points of operations. Was responsible for various aspects of the operations from shovel sites and moves to the spoil piles. I was then transferred into the office where I performed the tasks of Daily Operations Planner for nine months. My responsibilities included making a detailed plan to give to the supervisors for the next 24-60 hours. My last three months of employment was under the role of Mine Infrastructure Engineer. This included the implementation of a dewatering system for the main pit as well as the fuel buildings, crushers and ore storage barns. It was my duty to work with multi departments and contractors to accomplish daily activities.

Worked as summer intern as primarily surface mine surveyor. Helped complete basic mine design aspects as well as complete a few mine projects. Main projects included dewatering system map, haul truck cycle time study, and a three month dump plan.

Worked at store for two different school years. Dealt with public relations through sales working as the store's Feed Specialist. Other duties included restocking feed daily as well as being a Forklift Operator.

Execute underground and surface surveys of active areas, install survey control and McGarf laser instruments. Import and digitize data in Vulcan Computer Software to draft daily driving layouts and update month end reports. Collaborate with underground drillers of heading issues, or critical changes to work area. Conduct underground ventilation surveys to verify appropriate air flow in active areas of the mine. Conduct and analyze ground monitoring instrumentation tests to verify safe work conditions. Verify active mining sites, grades, and elevations. Report findings to supervision and/or instruct corrective actions. Calculate distances, heights, depths, relative positions, and other characteristics of terrain based on objectives. Capture and Digitize Cavity Monitor Surveys (CMS) of completed stope to calculate volumes and dilution.
