What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values safety and innovation, offering opportunities for growth and collaboration.

I am an experienced Geotechnical Engineer with a strong background in supervising drilling operations and ensuring timely project delivery. My expertise lies in engineering geology and geotechnical investigation, where I have successfully logged soils and rock cores while maintaining impeccable standards. I am committed to fostering a safety-first culture, having achieved a spotless workplace safety record with zero lost-time incidents over two years.

Throughout my career at Asante Gold Corporation, I have led and coordinated drilling operations, achieving over a 95% success rate and a 15% cost reduction. My ability to generate high-quality geological field maps and create 3D geological models has driven project success and informed decision-making. I pride myself on my effective communication skills and my ability to collaborate with teams to deliver results.
