good company but limited internal training available for advancement on site at Osborne
Process Operator Maintainer (Former Employee), Osborne Mine –
Pros: camp accommodation
Cons: would prefer more even time roster
Whilst employed by Barrick Aust (Osborne mine) as a Process Operator / Maintainer , my role as a senior operator included the supervision of shift crews within the processing stream , of business partners during scheduled shutdowns and the training of new employee’s within the plant process, these area’s include (crushing, grinding, floating, tails/concentrate – more...  handling and control room operations.) I have completed QMS 1, 2 & 3 and have a Certificate IV in workplace training & assessment.
At Osborne I was part of a team that were able to improve and up grade a 120tph plant to a 285tph efficient processing system which saved millions in annual running costs and effectively increased annual revenue significantly. Examples included: - pump liner trails which increased liner life from 30hrs to hundreds of hours; repositioning clarifier/cyclone clusters to allow pumps to become redundant; upgrading small inefficient pumps to give volume for less effort and wear. – less
