Malcolm Greenway has over 35 years’ experience working in the mining industry in South Africa and Australia and has been with Jacobs in Perth for 21 years. His current position is as a Mining Shaft Systems Consultant. In previous roles he has been successively Operations Manager, Regional Manager, and Project Director for the capital project work being undertaken by Jacobs for Rio Tinto Iron Ore Projects and Development in Western Australia. Malcolm is also an adjunct professor at the University of Western Australia.

After a B.Sc.Eng. degree in mechanical engineering Malcolm studied for a D.Phil. at Oxford University in the UK completing his thesis on vortex shedding flow induced structural vibration. Subsequently Malcolm worked on an industrial aerodynamics wind tunnel simulating the natural wind and measuring the effects on buildings. In 1979 Malcolm joined the Anglo American Corporation of South Africa in Johannesburg. Initially Malcolm was responsible for some specific R&D projects for Anglo in the field of vibration control, structural dynamics and fatigue. These projects addressed screening plant vibration control, shaft steelwork dynamic behaviour, rope guide performance and hoist rope oscillations and dynamic loads and a wide range of machinery failures. Malcolm’s technology experience thus includes test and analysis of mechanical plant and equipment with emphasis on mining equipment, machinery failure analysis and prevention, plant vibration management and equipment life extension. Malcolm progressed with Anglo into engineering management to become Consulting Mechanical Engineer responsible for the Mechanical Engineering Department of their Central Technical Office (CTO). The CTO undertook a wide variety of mine process plants and shaft system EPCM projects for Anglo’s Coal, Gold and Diamond operating divisions

Andrew has over 14 years’ experience in the design of structures for use in the Oil and Gas, General Infrastructure and Mining sectors. His recent work has focused on the design of offshore structures, including steel self-installing platforms and concrete gravity structures. Andrew’s industry experience has been interspersed with time spent as a lecturer in the School of Civil and Resource Engineering at UWA, lecturing courses in general design, analysis and the behaviour of offshore structures. His PhD studies focused on predicting the extreme response of moored floating offshore structures and the effect of parametric uncertainty on system reliability. Andrew is currently the Manager of the Industrial Transformation Research Hub for Offshore Floating Facilities, which is a multi-disciplinary research group which has been set up to tackle the critical engineering challenges faced by offshore oil and gas projects by creating improved design and operating procedures.
