Battery Electric Mine Equipment
Mining equipment systems, electrification and operational considerations.
Mining career profile / Sudbury, Ontario
Building a mining career on a mechanical foundation.
I recently completed a Master of Engineering in Engineering Science at Laurentian University, with a mechanical focus and mining-relevant coursework. I am pursuing my first direct engineering opportunity in mining, where I can contribute in mechanical, field, equipment, project-support or QA/QC work.

Why mining
A deliberate direction, not a rewritten job title.
Studying in Sudbury at Laurentian University placed me close to Northern Ontario's mining industry. I used my graduate program to add mining-related courses to a mechanical background, with the goal of moving into equipment, field support, quality and project execution.
I am not presenting my aerospace projects as mining experience. They are included only where they provide evidence of transferable work, such as hydraulic sizing, mechanical design, manufacturing, testing, failure analysis and technical documentation.

Mining foundation
Coursework chosen to support the transition.
These are academic foundations, not a substitute for site experience. They show the direction of my graduate studies.
Solid Waste Processing
Processing systems, material streams and waste-management fundamentals.
Quality Planning and Analysis
Quality methods, process control and evidence-based improvement.
Project Management
Scope, schedule, coordination, risk and project execution fundamentals.
Business Statistics
Data analysis and statistical reasoning for technical decisions.
Experience already earned
Safety-critical work and engineering fundamentals.
Work experience
Ground Operations Agent
Strategic Aviation
- Worked around aircraft, vehicles, ground power units and heavy equipment in active ramp operations.
- Followed strict procedures while coordinating loading, equipment handling and aircraft turnaround tasks.
- Communicated across crews to resolve operational issues and keep work safe and on schedule.

What I have done, studied and want to develop.
Demonstrated in projects
Mechanical and technical
CAD, FEA, hydraulic sizing, CNC CAM, tolerance analysis, FMEA, design review and technical reporting.
Studied
Mining and project foundation
Battery-electric mine equipment, solid-waste processing, quality planning, project management and statistics.
Seeking site experience
Field execution
Equipment installation, commissioning support, field inspections, maintenance planning and mine-site procedures.
Transferable project evidence
Two projects that support the mining direction.
The project contexts are stated clearly so the engineering evidence can be evaluated without overstating industry experience.
Transferable academic projectHydraulic systems
Control-surface hydraulic actuation sizing
Project context: conceptual aircraft actuation. Relevance: hydraulic calculations, component sizing and design review.
What I did
Compared actuation architectures and built a sizing model for piston area, flow, motor power, accumulator volume and pipe diameter. Updated loads caused me to reject the original EMA selection and revise the design to EHA.
What it demonstrates
Working from loads and assumptions, checking whether an early decision remains valid, documenting limitations and translating analysis into component-level requirements.

Individual mechanical projectDesign, manufacture and test
Mechanical linkage from CAD to hardware
Project context: Fowler flap linkage. Relevance: mechanical design, FEA, manufacturing, quality checks and failure analysis.
What I did
Modelled the assembly, optimized the linkage using FEA, selected tolerances, created CNC toolpaths and compared predicted mass with the manufactured part.
What it demonstrates
The part passed its structural test. A kinematic collision appeared during retraction, so I identified the missed contact setting and documented geometry and review changes for the next iteration.
