PT. Snowden IndoAsia

Jakarta, Indonesia

 

 

Consultant Geologist/Technical Manager

 February 1995 - January 1997

 

Experience

 

          Appointed as Consultant Geologist and Geology Manager of the newly formed PT. Snowden IndoAsia (first employee). The company is part of the Snowden Associates Pty. Ltd. (Mining Industry Consultants) group based in Perth Australia. I am directly responsible to the principals for autonomously managing the company's operations. The job required integrity, credibility and technical expertise in exploration and mining geology for consultancy works. Management of the company in terms of marketing, personnel, public relations and general representation was also required. 

 

          I have learned and gained first hand experience in establishing a consultancy firm from base zero and up. I have also undertaken various consulting tasks related to the exploration, mining and non-mining industry. In this position I became an independent and methodical worker.

 

 

Achievements

 

           I played a major role in establishing the consulting direction of this new company. I was responsible for promoting the company that subsequently led to various and continuous consultancy works. The various jobs covered computer presentation graphics to geostatistical resource estimation, technical audit, project/property valuations and various project management contracts.
