## About

```text
At Seriti Resources, I worked as a Metallurgical engineer in training across coal sites and projects, including export and Eskom operations. My work included coordinating mining, hauling, and processing, alongside TFR scheduling and compliance.

I worked on dense medium circuit design and optimisation, fines circuit planning, and process water recovery. I also supported SANAS-aligned laboratory standards, geological quality planning, and tailings and discard management.

I implemented and revised Eskom Comprehensive Quality Management Plans, reviewed and amended SLAs, and worked on plant safety procedures and SOPs. My project work also included processing plant testing and commissioning, contractor management, and air separation optimisation and plant retrofitting.
