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.

As a Systems Engineer, it is important for me to keep up to date with everything happening in my systems of responsibility, so I can provide support where needed.

Commonly I start by checking all the production drill sites and finalising with the charge up sites. Never forget to bring all your PPE specially hearing protection, drill sites can be very noisy.
