Licensed chemical engineer/technician delivering safe, data-driven refinery and laboratory performance.
PhilippinesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a licensed chemical engineer/technician with experience across mining operations and laboratory support, including service as a Laboratory Assistant for the Mines and Geosciences Bureau and cadetship as a Mill Production Specialist at Lepanto Consolidated Mining Company. I’ve built my value around hands-on supervision, strict adherence to standard operating procedures, and a relentless commitment to safety and reliable daily execution.
From 2022 to 2024, I served as a Mill Production Supervisor assigned to the Refinery section, where I planned, organized, and delegated daily tasks, ensured compliance with operating procedures, coordinated with maintenance and other departments for continuous operation, and produced daily and monthly production reports for Gold and Silver bullion. I later worked as a Shift Supervisor in the Crushing and Grinding section and, most recently, as a Laboratory Analyst—preparing reagents, following established chemical handling protocols, and preparing and consolidating assay results for evaluation.
