I was working in Queensland, as a rigger and had some comms experience, seeing a goldern opportunity to advance myself I worked hard, learnt a lot from the crew at CCR, and now do most of the minesite works.
I am a safety conscious person, who looks after all my fellow workers, and have proven that I can do any task that CCR allow me to do.

I am a quiet achiever, and believe I can do everything that CCR give me to do, knowing I have the support from the management team, and the rest of the crew I work with.
I have a great rapore with the mine site people I deal with, possibly because of the high safety standards that we impose on ourselves, because of the training we have had.

Erin Ogg (Office Administrator)
I came to CCR in January 2017, I was welcomed with open arms.
The first impression was "what have I got myself in for".
But the boys are all great, the management are really supportive, and treat everyone as a family member.
I tend to be a little soft on the boys compared to what Jan was, but have learnt not to, when it comes to Quality and Safety.
I am married, and would like to think this position is a lifelong role.
I bring to CCR my Commerce Degree Majoring in Accounting, with this I do know that this is assisting CCR to be accountable in all aspects.
Pat is my biggest headache :-)
