Prosple Profiles

This week, I have been undertaking an audit for a multinational company based in India, where I am testing the company's internal controls and accounts for revenue and expenses.

Aquila mine is the first automated longwall for Anglo American in Australia, Seeing the system in action is very impressive and mind-blowing.

My job as an engineer is to help get a design as close to perfect as possible.

My role is to update the slide pack with any recent safety alerts sent from other Thiess sites or our client, our monthly safety performance and a list of incidents from the last seven days.

On Thursdays, we have our weekly classified plant meeting. One of my responsibilities as a graduate mechanical engineer is ‘Wet Plant’ registered plant.

After dropping off, I head to work. I’m usually in by 8, which means it's time for toast and a cup of tea. While I enjoy this, I chat with our other early birds and set myself up at my desk. I sort through emails and write out an agenda for my day, which helps me stay on track and lets me know if I need to hunt for more work!
