Grader Operator

Conuma Coal Resources Ltd.

2018 – 2019

• Maintained roads for haul trucks and other machinery of active mining areas to promote smooth operations and prevent any incidences from occurring.

• Removed rock spills from truckers, and graded skid marks during the winter, known as ‘bacon strips’, to prevent collisions of machinery. Fresh gravel was spread along active roads, potholes were repaired for improved transportation, road shoulders were fixed, and I built a new road as the mine-site expanded. Snow removal was a major factor to ensure vehicles could operate safely. Shoulders were also cleared to promote water flow and prevent flooding.
