Brad Simser
Principal Ground Control Engineer
Glencore, Canada

Since graduating in 1988, Brad’s career has been mostly in underground mines as a geotechnical/rock mechanics engineer. All the mines he has worked on have been hard rock, relatively deep and seismically active, including stints in the South Africa Goldfields at Welkom from 1990 to 1995, lead-zinc in Northern New Brunswick at Brunswick Mine from 1995 to 2001, and Glencore’s Sudbury operations since 2003. 2001-2003 was spent at the Noranda Technology Centre and included the running of a dynamic bolt testing rig.
