BSc Geology, MMinEng Mine Geomechanics, MAusIMM (CP), CEng
Ian graduated from the University of Bristol in 2008 with an honours degree in geology, and completed his masters in mine geomechanics at the University of New South Wales in 2018. He has over 14-years experience in the mining industry and has worked across a range of roles across Australia, UK and Africa. His experiences spans across exploration, operational geology and geotechnical engineering. Ian has recently joined MineGeoTech’s projects group based in the UK office.
His geotechnical experience to date is predominantly from site-based operational roles, having worked as a geotechnical engineer in open pit and underground mines in central Queensland that utilise dragline, truck-and-shovel, longwall and bord-and-pillar mining methods.
Other work has included reviewing geotechnical documentation, assessing ground conditions, ground support design, pillar design, open pit design and stability analysis with Rocscience software suite.
