Chris Borg
Chris is a graduate Engineer at PYBAR, based at the Lady Loretta Mine in QLD. His major role is to complete daily reports on Lady Loretta’s development and operations.
Chris has developed his knowledge and experience throughout his time at PYBAR, starting out in the Sydney and Orange offices then getting the opportunity to work underground at Lady Loretta.
“The most exciting aspect for me has been learning to operate heavy machinery. At Lady Loretta I have been training on several types of equipment. I have had the opportunity to operate the machinery on a regular basis which has boosted my experience and skills”.
The most challenging experience Chris has faced during his time PYBAR was when he was posted to Orange to help complete tenders within the Civil division. Chris experienced the process and high-pressure workload first hand, enjoying the challenge and practical experience of working with a team.
“My overall experience with PYBAR has been fantastic, the variety has been more then I could have imagined. I have had the opportunity to work in Sydney, Orange and also on site at Lady Loretta. I am very grateful for the opportunity”.
