Ross is currently NSW Membership Manager for Austmine, the peak body representing the Australian METS Sector – those companies supplying the mining sector with capabilities of Mining, Engineering, Technology and Services.
With initial work experience gained in operating roles in both Underground and Open Cut Coal Mining, Ross made the move into the explosives business. This was the start of a 30+ year tenure working for Mining Suppliers and the broader METS Sector.

Ross is passionate about delivering change programs that deliver real operating and commercial benefit to mining operations. Be it new explosive formulations, new machines, cutting edge technology or innovative upgrades to traditional products
he embraces the challenge of change management to take the new solutions “to the coal Face” in a way that converts ‘the potential’ into ‘real operating value’.
