Effective written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly report findings, escalate issues, and contribute to team discussions with the Senior Mine Geologist and operational personnel. Ability to manage and prioritise multiple tasks in a dynamic operational environment, meeting deadlines without compromising data quality or safety standards.
