Shelley Greener - Contractor Management

Congratulations, you have just commenced your role as a project geologist. For many this new position will be a continuum and extension of their previous role as an exploration geologist. For others, you may have moved roles and be wondering what to expect. Part of the Project Geologist’s role is to take that ‘stepup’ and be more proactive in managing the company’s contract partners on site. Who are these contract partners? – As geologists we usually think of our drilling contractors. However, any third-party contractor may require some supervision and management. What skills or specialist training do you need for this, if any? Is there any additional information that you should have to assist you in doing this new task effectively? The presentation is designed to help project geologists who will be taking on more responsibility in this space to identify any issues and hopefully provide some answers and tools to help deal with some of the common issues that arise.
