What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a mine or quarry surveying role in New Zealand where I can apply high-precision spatial reporting, zero-harm safety practices, and strong production reconciliation experience. I am seeking AEWV sponsorship and am available for immediate on-site interviews.

I've delivered high-precision survey operations across Zimasco Chrome Mine, Zambezi Gas & Coal Mine, Zimplats South Pit, and WK Coal, supporting underground chrome, open-pit coal, platinum, and surface extractive operations.

At Zimasco, I maintained primary and secondary control networks, directed underground set-outs, produced structural plans and DTM updates, and improved mine-to-plant reconciliation through rigorous inventory measurement protocols. Across more than 10 years, I've maintained zero survey-related safety incidents, zero LTIs, and zero statutory survey non-conformances.

I use Leica and Trimble total stations, GNSS/GPS, UAV photogrammetry, Surpac, Vulcan, and AutoCAD to deliver reliable set-outs, volume calculations, slope monitoring, and spatial reporting aligned with zero-harm and WorkSafe New Zealand expectations.
