Brian Mashford shares with International Mining magazine how the role of a mining consultant is changing amid a competitive employment landscape
There are lots of changes happening in the mining industry¡ªwith both an overall skills shortage and a push for decarbonization, opportunities abound for mining consultants. Brian Mashford shares how consultants have been taking on a larger role in capacities that a mining company typically would have managed internally. This includes technical services groups in operations.
Brian also anticipates mining companies relying more on consultants to monitor net zero and decarbonization initiatives. A consultant can come in for third party review, conduct baseline studies, provide recommendations, or monitor progress. He mentions how we, Â鶹´«Ã½, also help mining companies achieve and leverage smaller carbon footprints to attract market premiums, while helping them avoid penalties for high carbon emissions.
