WORK HISTORY
Senior Principal Hydrogeologist @Eco Logical Australia Pty Ltd
Adelaide, AU
My technical experience spans all States and Territories in Australia, and I have international experience working in South East Asia. I love working with clients to solve complex project risks relating to water (too much water, too little water, low quality, impacts to receptors) and providing overall water stewardship advice to recognise the value of water. My groundwater expertise lies within the arid climates, with over a decade of experience working within SA’s Gawler Craton, Stuart Shelf and Arkaringa Basin geological regions. I have delivered water supply and dewatering exploration programs, water feasibility studies, and mining approvals for Projects such as Carrapateena, Prominent Hill, Olympic Dam and Oak Dam.I have a range of consulting experience in the Australian water and resources industries:> Mining, oil and gas, renewables approvals.> Hydrogeology and hydrology baseline studies and impact assessments.> Groundwater supply exploration and executing remote drilling programs.> Mine water management and compliance.> Monitoring and regulatory reporting.> Stakeholder and community engagement.> Hydrogeological and hydrological monitoring and analysis.> Project management and strategy
