How are you using
technology to more
efficiently perform
your job?
VICTOR ARAGON
Environmental Engineer I-El Paso
“I use Enablon to manage compliance tasks, assign action plans to operations for environmental deficiencies, as well as for tracking when permit renewals are due. The software really helps me stay on top of all the environmental duties that need to be tracked.”
JODY BECK
Workforce Resource Manager-Morenci
“I utilize my phone while in the field to keep up on tasks without having to be at my computer. I sign documents using DocuSign, join Teams meetings wherever I am, and I review dashboards.”
APRIL BENAVIDEZ
Administrative Assistant, Maintenance Reliability-Safford
“I leverage technology to enhance my efficiency at work by using Microsoft Teams for seamless communication and meeting scheduling with my team. Additionally, I utilize SharePoint to securely manage and share documents. These tools centralize my workflow, save time and help ensure that tasks are completed on schedule.”
TOM BOCHE
Process Automation Technician-Fort Madison
“Being in process automation we use a variety of old and new technologies every day. Out of all the technologies we use, I think Microsoft Excel is one of the best tools for efficiency. We use it every day to organize, compare, and analyze data but there are so many more uses for it. We use it a lot for mass imports, edits and exports to make multiple changes at one time saving valuable time.”
ZORIG BOLDBAATAR
RCM Supervisor-Climax
“At Climax Mine, we use technology every day to monitor equipment health and prevent major failures. In one case, routine infrared inspections detected abnormal heat in a critical electrical component. Because the issue was caught early and reported quickly, the team was able to fix it before it became a safety hazard or caused a production delay.”
MATT CAMPO
Chief GMX Engineer-Chino
“The impacts of data integration and visualization platform technologies have been profound on geomechanics over the course of my 10-year career. Using automated platforms and data collection methods has meant we can collect not only exponentially more data but analyze more to in turn make increasingly accurate geotechnical models for better recommendations to our operations leadership.”
EDWARD CASTELLANO
Activity Coordinator-Morenci
“I use a variety of digital tools and platforms to streamline planning, communication and documentation. For example, I rely on scheduling software to organize events and ensure there are no conflicts. I also use digital forms and spreadsheets to track participation, gather feedback and manage supplies. Communication apps such as Microsoft Teams help me stay in touch with team members and participants in real time, which improves coordination and responsiveness.”
ADAM CATALAN
Mill Operator-Sierrita
“In the mill control room, technology is all around us. We use it every day. We can see power, tonnage, what pumps are pumping, and I can actually open and close valves with a click of the button. I think our system allows me to do my job more efficiently, because it allows me to really understand how everything works around here from the inside out.”
CLAUDIA GAYTAN
Planner II-El Paso
“As a planner using technology out in the field has helped me be more efficient in my role. I am able to access equipment data, maintenance history and other relevant information out on the field. I am also able to create notifications right on the spot, eliminating the need to return to the office.”
BRADY THOMPSON
Mine Engineer II-Safford Operations
“I use technology to quickly and easily collect data points that help illustrate how our run of mine leach pad is progressing day to day. I then can enter that data into a calendar that helps us effectively predict upcoming significant dates in our plan.”
TRISTIN SKINNER
Engineering Specialist II-Fort Madison
“I once got accused of being lazy, because I looked at technology to automate tasks to make my work easier and faster. I took that as a compliment because it meant I was successful.”
