Bill Longley Cook / Underground Manager / UK
Graduated in Mining Engineering
Underground Manager at Winsford Salt Mine, UK
I loved studying mining engineering - the mix of subjects and the emphasis on practical work. Since graduation I've worked mining for gold, lead, zinc and copper. I've seen some fascinating places and met interesting people. There's always something new to think about, new problems to solve and new challenges to meet. I've been involved in production, planning, mine design, feasibility studies and marketing. I've been responsible for the rock mechanics of one of the deepest base metal mines in the world, involving meetings, visits, computing and a hundred other things. Now I'm back in the UK as underground manager of a salt mine - it beats any other nine to five job.
