Promotions

Congratulations to Alston and José

We're delighted to announce two promotions at Go Engineering. Alston D'Lima has been appointed Consulting Manager and José Grado has been promoted to Principal Mining Engineer. Both appointments recognise work they're already leading. They also set a clear structure for our next stage of growth: Alston will lead our client relationships and José will lead our technical delivery.

Alston D'Lima — Consulting Manager

Alston is a WA School of Mines graduate and holds a WA First Class Mine Manager's Certificate. He has more than 12 years of experience across underground and open pit operations. For the past 18 months he has led our study teams across several projects at once. He coordinated multidisciplinary work, kept delivery on track to client timelines and made sure every study stayed grounded in operational reality.

As Consulting Manager, Alston moves from leading individual studies to leading the growth of our consultancy. He'll own our client relationships, build our project pipeline and secure the work that keeps our teams engaged. Because he has led the studies himself, clients will deal with someone who understands exactly what it takes to deliver. Every engagement will start with a clear scope and a shared understanding of what success looks like.

José Grado — Principal Mining Engineer

José brings more than 13 years of underground and open pit experience. It spans short- and medium-term planning, production forecasting, data-driven study inputs and JORC Code reporting. As Principal Mining Engineer, he'll lead our technical function and be responsible for the quality and rigour of our mine studies, design and production scheduling.

José will also lead the technical development of our engineering team. He'll mentor team members, review their work and help build the depth of capability our clients rely on. To stay current with industry trends and practice, he'll maintain his AusIMM Chartered Professional accreditation. That means completing a minimum of 150 hours of professional development over every three-year period.

A word from our Managing Director

"Quality is our priority, and Alston and José have shown that on every project they've led. They take ownership, give honest advice and develop the people around them. With Alston leading our clients and José leading our technical work, we're well set up for the next stage of growth."

— Cornelius Hattingh, Managing Director

Please join us in congratulating Alston and José on these well-earned promotions.
