Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom
In the past few years I have been employed by a small Hungarian company specializing in wireline surveys and well inspections for thermal and cold water wells. Past roles included 1. A short-term contract involving grassroots exploration near the Zambian Copperbelt 2. An internship at Ariana Resources at the Sindirgi Gold Corridor in Turkey and 3. A Budapest-based position with a civil engineering company. During these ventures I gained hands-on skills such as field mapping, optical microscopy, XRD & XRF-analysis, evaluation of a fire assay, wireline logging, geochemical sampling (soil-, stream sediment- and even termite mound sampling! - see image above), geological data analysis (XRF-gun) and visualization in ESRI ArcMap. I had the opportunity to work with the following software: ArcMap, Surfer, Grapher, WellCAD, GeoLogger (an internal wireline logging software). Even though I graduated with honors from Cardiff University, UK in 2013 my career path had not been a straight line but rather sinusoidal as is the industry... :) My dissertation was based on a placement in Turkey. An exploration project aiming to find high- and low-sulfidation epithermal gold deposits. Although I love Mineral Exploration I am equally interested in Petroleum Exploration. I aim to gain as much experience on both fields as possible (regardless of the job's nature - may it be a drill rig or a mine site) in order to decide which carrier path I'm leaning towards. I have specific interest in porphyry copper-, epithermal gold -and sediment-hosted uranium deposits however I also am keen on learning about more recent energy acquisition methods such as carbon catchment and storage, shale gas and geothermal energy. I like to read case studies of petroleum plays, alteration mapping and hydrothermalism. I am considered to have great skills in data visualization, geophysical surveys & their interpretation. I am currently based in Budapest, Hungary however I am internationally mobile. and have an EU Passport & a full (clean) EU driving license.
My main roles are - Calibration and Testing of various wireline sondes (density, caliper, pressure and temperature, natural gamma), evaluating test results and providing calibration certificates - Maintaining and Developing company Database - Performing slimhole wireline surveys for ground investigation, water resources and well monitoring - Assisting in thermal well wireline surveys - Managing ground investigation projects from tendering to site work - Translation and Proofreading of technical reports to English
As a customer support specialist I advised partners, internal employees and even governmental entities from all over the world on acquiring company licenses for sales, design and support of IT products.
The company specializes in soil stabilization and the construction of (geo-synthetic) support walls for roads and railways. My duties consisted of - Supervising site crew - Carrying out slope surveys and - Project administration Reason for leaving: personal
As part of a small team of geologists my tasks involved a wide range of tasks: - Geological mapping - Geochemical sampling - Data acquisition & analysis (with handheld XRF) - Data integration and visualization (via ESRI ArcMap) - Preliminary reserve estimation - Handling cadastre maps (African licenses) Reason for leaving: project finished
Managerial role in a very busy restaurant. Working under high pressure, exercising time management-, organisational- and team leading skills.
