A professional services firm client won a major transformation project in the mining and metals space. They sought an expert with a deep understanding of open pit mining and experience in operations and maintenance.

The professional services firm came to GLG seeking a subject-matter expert to bolster their team for the duration of the project. The project required GLG’s expert to join client-facing meetings and visit the mining site, so a willingness to travel was important.

GLG quickly sourced a former general manager at a global mining corporation who had extensive experience in operations and maintenance in open pit mining. The expert worked with the team for more than 42 hours across the approximately two-month phase of the project, which included two on-site visits to the end client’s mine in Canada.

The expert shared their perspective on ways to adopt more efficient processes and helped to validate the client’s approaches. Upon completion of phase one of the project, the client team came back to GLG to contract more than 60 additional hours of work with the expert, including two additional visits to the Canadian site.
