Meet Jack - one of our HVO Coal Coordinators 👷♂️
Jack once worked on oil and gas rigs in Eastern Europe and the North Sea - and even moonlighted as a DJ when he first started in mining. How cool!
What Jack loves most about his job now is the variety of coal we mine at HVO and the scale of the operation.
He says the size of the place brings interesting challenges. "Getting to work with so many good people and learn new things every day is fantastic."
Jack’s role involves coordinating the coal mining process from the coal face through to the Coal Handling and Preparation Plant, keeping safety, production and quality front of mind at every step.
He joined HVO in 2017, spent nine years in technical services before recently making the jump into production - a move he’s really enjoying.
When he’s off the clock, Jack loves hanging out with his wife and son, keeping fit, catching live music and playing guitar.
We asked Jack what advice he'd give to someone starting out in his line of work, and he said: “Don’t hesitate to ask questions - if it’s on your mind, it’s probably on someone else’s too.”
