"I’ve been with SRK for over 15 years, and it has presented a very significant part of my career development. We work on a large variety of projects, often simultaneously, and often presenting significant technical challenges. There is no such thing as a "standard project"; all are approached with the intent to provide a carefully tailored outcome for the client, and as such each requires some inventiveness and presents its own learnings. The multi-disciplinary and highly experienced teams at SRK, both in the local Australian and larger global spheres, provide the opportunity to co-operate on large, high-profile projects and gain insight into the many facets of mining projects in countries around the world. The culture at SRK is second-to-none, with a family-like environment in both local and global communities. It’s a great place to build a career, experience a sense of commitment, and develop one’s leadership skills."

The company encourages original thinking and innovation to deliver solutions that are often out-of-the-box in nature.

I also enjoy travelling to various mining geographies as an integral part of my work. If you’re thinking about joining SRK, get ready to push your limits every day and go on an awesome journey.
