Robyn and I collaborated to enhance the environmental management system of the colliery. Her legislative knowledge and operational experience allowed us to quickly assess risks and prioritise actions for improvement. Robyn’s practical and hands-on approach meant that pragmatic solutions were developed to address key risks. This was an essential precursor to developing a sound environmental strategy and associated budget. This approach allowed us to effectively manage environmental risk, while executing the mine plan. Robyn’s easy going but frank personality allowed her to effectively engage at all levels, from the workforce operator to top management. Her ability to communicate complex ideas in a simple and direct manner was critical to achieving alignment on environmental priorities and implementing one of the most successful environmental programs in the region.
Robyn helped us to organise and implement governance procedures for our Environmental Consultancy. Her preparation was meticulous, and it showed in the way she took us through the things we needed to take on board or improve. Robyn's enthusiasm and knowledge made the experience not only worthwhile, but fun.
Robyn quickly gained oversight of the complexity of the project, its’ community, and the environment and certainly became a valued team member taking on the responsibility of an extraordinary range of tasks in a short space of time. It was critical to not only be on top of field requirements, but also a considerable range of documentation in response the Independent Planning Commission. Her previous underground experience added a significant benefit to the project.
From ground zero, Robyn established the ISO certified integrated management system that we rely upon every day. Robyn formalised our existing processes and was able to incorporate our NATA laboratory accreditation requirements into the system. Having an integrated online platform is helping our business to thrive. We are more competitive, more conscious of our external environment and feel prepared for business change. We can confidently train our people to internationally recognised standards. We are committed to maintaining our certification and to continuing to improve on our solid foundations.
