Contract & freelance engineering

Process control, automation, and industrial IoT — brought in when a site needs real expertise, on your terms, without a full-time hire.

I'm a process control systems engineer with 27 years in automation and integration, working across electrical trade, PCS engineering, QA/QC, and safety — with hands-on experience in the construction and mining sectors specifically. MineDesk is where that experience is available on a contract basis: scoped work, defined outcomes, no long-term headcount commitment.

What I do

Process control & systems integration — PLC and SCADA-based control systems, process automation design, and integration work across control system platforms. The kind of work that needs someone who's actually stood in front of the panel, not just read the spec sheet.

IIoT & remote telemetry — Remote monitoring and sensor network design using LoRaWAN and other low-power wide-area technologies: temperature, pressure, vibration, and other process data, captured at the source and delivered into dashboards and historian systems your team already trusts.

Electrical & instrumentation — Grounded in real electrical trade experience, not just engineering theory — practical, site-ready design and troubleshooting.

QA/QC & safety — Automation and instrumentation work that's built to pass inspection the first time, with mining and construction compliance requirements built in from the start, not bolted on after.

Custom software development — Beyond MineDesk's own products, custom software and workflow tooling built to fit how your business actually works — from small internal tools to full workflow automation, scoped and delivered on a project basis.

Why work with MineDesk

Twenty-seven years is long enough to have made most of the mistakes already, on someone else's dime. I bring that experience to sites of every size — not just the large operators who can afford enterprise integrators, but the 20-200 person operations that need the same quality of engineering without the enterprise price tag or timeline.

How engagements work

Project and contract-based, scoped to what you actually need — a short diagnostic and design review, a defined integration project, or ongoing telemetry/automation support. Get in touch and we'll figure out the right shape for your site.
