Job Satisfaction at South32

As a graduate, I need to learn the business, work procedures, and operations. I am going out to the mobile workshop to see and learn things. I am looking for after-registerable plants and undertaking projects in this sector. I am also doing small projects in mobile equipment as assigned by my superintendents & specialists. I am also doing RCA (Root cause analysis) on a couple of problems. The training and department rotation of my graduate program should be undertaken by myself as there is no proper reporting, monitoring or guidance has been given.

As a reliability engineer, I am responsible for the maintenance strategies and reliability of all the equipment in my area.

Environmental graduate, no day is the same from monthly reporting to rehab and animal handling along with data collection.

I enjoy the problem-solving nature of my role.

I am currently part of the exploration team in which I daily take part of: 6am Pre-start meetings to outline and summarize any changes in schedules and plans for the day making emphasis on safety information and hazard awareness for each day. 6.15-7am Taking survey at Base station to calibrate Trimble devices for the day. Getting ready for daily drilling campaign After 7am Driving to tenements/areas in which the grade control drilling is carried out RC drill rig supervision, logging, data collection & geological interpretation Mentor and assist Field Technicians in data acquisition, sample collection and sample dispatch End of the day Geological data management, validating, exporting and promoting data collected in the field following QAQC standards into the software utilized. Signing off sample submission forms by field assistants Reporting work done to senior geologist and supervisors

Pre-start attendance to understand issues in the field from the front-line tradespeople Strategy implementation/modification Troubleshooting equipment Defect analysis on failures in the plant Project scoping Engaging contractors to come to site for equipment repairs Workplace interactions Updating spare parts and BOM's in SAP SAP tasks

different project and very depends on current rotation. control system task (Plc. ) control system task ( DCS )

I work in the projects side of our team. So day-to-day is a mix of data analysis for various projects. as well as project management aspect of the projects. Also typically get involved in some operations work, getting time out in the field to conduct workplace interactions and hazard identification.

Day to day I work underground as an operator with a great crew

Since I am so new it is a lot of learning without a lot of impact, I feel satisfied to know I am learning but unsatisfied because I do not add anything to the company and feel a bit useless.

Work is great, challenging and satisfying

Currently at BRDA as a graduate civil engineer. My roles include inspecting dams and reviewing third party documents to make it compliance with GISTM and ANCOLD. Also working on Silt trap register before their final design. -New knowledge/new lesson with team rotations every after 3-4 months. - Helps networking among new team. -Increased relationship among different team.

There is variety of day-to-day responsibilities; therefore, no two swings are the same. Changing tasks each week improves individual skillset in a range of areas, rather than becoming specialised in only one.

The work itself is extremely intellectually stimulating. As a chemical engineer, I can't recommend a more interesting place to work and if you can learn the process here, you'll be able to make it anywhere! Additionally, the shift engineer role deals with short-term production bottlenecks so you do get to experience being in the "thick of it" as you work to solve urgent problems.

Fair amount of work is given mostly at graduate role to absorb all the essential skills that needs to be learned while keeping safety as the first and foremost focus.

As a graduate I have a lot more responsibilities than what I thought I would which scared me in the beginning but now that I understand the level of support I also have, I feel like I am actually contributing to the team and to the business.

Quarry inspections, designing ore digs, designing dozer strips, designing drill patterns, issuing blast notifications.

Starting in the shift engineering crew I get exposure to day-to-day process monitoring of the areas I am responsible for which keeps me busy. I'm constantly learning how to troubleshoot new issues that arise in the process.

It varies, but currently a common day would be heading underground to map recently excavated roadways looking for geological/geotechnical features. Then digitising this data so that relevant parties can respond to the conditions of the strata accordingly.
