Greatest achievements
I was once lucky enough to be in the position to help train up younger geologists that were not only new to the world of remote exploration but also new to Australia. Over one exploration season I was able to teach and guide someone who hadn't been exposed to remote drilling operations previously and watch them grow their own skills, knowledge and confidence. I had many a proud moment witnessing this growth, especially considering the unique work and living environment of remote projects and the challenges they bring. Seeing these individuals grow their skillsets and confidence throughout the season, swing after swing, ultimately ending with them managing their own remote exploration camps independently was extremely satisfying and rewarding and perhaps most importantly, a very enjoyable experience over the course of a year.

Whether it be a long term career that you already have your eye on, or are undecided on the long term direction your career will take, IGO has a huge amount of opportunities available to its staff. I have had a fairly long working career. It has taking me in a few different directions in which I have worked in privately owned business's as well as one of Australia's biggest companies. Never have I seen the opportunities as well as the support to ensure our staff get the best possible opportunity to achieve the working goal. I am a living testament to this.
