Jerónimo is a Civil Engineer from the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María in Valparaíso, Chile and have studies of Master Engineering in Mining from the University of British Columbia. During my 17+ years of professional experience I have worked extensively on tailings projects, governance and technical assurance roles. After near 10 years in consultancy, I joined BHP in 2019, first as Practice Lead Tailings and currently as Head of Tailings and Processing Excellence. As part of this role, my team and I overlook the adequate management of the tailings risk throughout BHP by providing second line assurance on governance and technical support.
