After a number of years working
as a consultant Hydrogeologist, I took up a position in the Mine
Engineering Department at Minera Yanacocha. The position required
that I plan and implement dewatering systems for a number of open
pit mine at the Yanacocha site. In an effort to expand my experience
base I started the MSc Mineral Resources (Environment) program in
2002. Shortly after starting the MSc program I transferred to the
Environment Department at Minera Yanacocha working on EIS baseline
work primarily in the area of region water resources assessment
and impact analysis. Through time my role and responsibilities have
evolved and I am now responsible for site closure planning.
The courses offered through the CMLR have allowed me to quickly
gain a greater understanding of specific issues regarding mine site
closure practices but also the more general concepts of environmental
management required at mine a site. The external learning format
has allowed me to continue my education while maintaining full-time
employment.
