Work Experience
Blaster/Explosives Engineer
Orica Mining Services-Greencastle, IN
Present
I spend the majority of my time here focusing on the shot design, and safe handling of explosive systems and technologies. I work across 2 industries, quarry and construction. It is my responsibility to ensure safety and efficiency in the application of explosives. I am directly involved in designing shot layouts/blasting in quarry’s throughoutMaryland,Pennsylvania and West Virginia. In Maryland myself and 3 other blasters loaded the very first ever completely wireless initiation system in a United States quarry! The client was Heidelberg Materials, at their New Windsor location. I spent a great deal of time coordinating with clients on the direction of their short term mining or project plans, tracking kpi’s and hands on blasting. Safety and risk management both play a big part in my job as well. Good planning and ensuring the safe handling and application of explosives with blast crew is key, as blaster in charge I know all crew on bench/site are my responsibility and them going home safe to their families everyday is just another aspect of my job that I treat with respect.
