Ever wondered what a day in the life of an Enviro looks like? Here’s a peek into our daily routine!
Morning Kickoff: The day starts with the daily prestart meeting. Sometimes, we’re the ones presenting, other times we’re there to support and answer questions. Think of us as the multitaskers of the environmental world.
Site visit: Depending on the week, we might head out for a drive or a walk around the site. Our goal? To check if everything’s in place and see how things are progressing. Some projects change faster than the weather, so we’ve got to stay on our toes and make sure our foreman has all the right info.
Monitoring Mission: Next, it’s time for some monitoring. Whether it’s water, air, noise, or vibration, we’re on it. This could be a routine check or because something significant is happening. If we find any exceedances, it’s investigation time! We figure out what’s going on and how to fix it.
Smoko Social: As we approach smoko (morning tea or lunch), it’s all about mingling with the workers. We chat, build relationships, and maybe share a laugh or two. It’s a great way to connect with the team.
Paperwork Session: After smoko, it’s back to the office for some paperwork. We document everything we’ve done so far and prepare for the afternoon. It’s not the most exciting part of the day, but it’s essential!
Planning Meeting: Next, we attend the daily planning meeting with the engineers and foreman. We give advice, correct any missteps, and make sure everyone’s on the right track.
Afternoon Check: Towards the end of the day, we might take another look around the site. We check that all end-of-day controls are in place, especially if there’s rain on the way. We chat with operators, ensure everyone’s doing the right thing, and prepare tasks for the next day.
Sunset Wrap-Up: Finally, we head home, but not before snapping some sunset photos. We unwind, enjoy our evening, and get ready to do it all over again tomorrow.
And there you have it—a day in the life of an Enviro, filled with tasks, challenges, and a bit of fun! 🌿😊
