Jenny Campbell, Survey Technician
ME AND MY JOB
Communication skills
When I'm underground, oral communication is important. Sometimes it can be very loud so being heard clearly helps me keep safe. We can communicate using our cap lamps, by moving our heads back and forth, up and down, or around in a circle.
I work with engineers, geologists, miners and fellow surveyors, so I need to be able to interact with them at their level. Teamwork is essential to my work. When working with other people, I have to get to know their strengths and how to make the most of theirs and mine.
