Hi Geoff I could do this as I taught mining geology and engineering geology for many years, and I am totally familiar with the work of dewatering pumps. However I am not available until November. The book review is on its way - I am half-way through the writing and have read the book - some really good stuff and some really useless stuff.

The company is located in Coolum, but most of the work can be done from Brisbane or elsewhere as long as you are willing to spend a little time in Coolum becoming familiar with the company's products. Depending on the number of writers available, the project could last from 1 to 3 months. You need only a good knowledge of MS Word and Acrobat. Preference will be given to folk with experience in mine engineering or a related field, but the lack of such experience is not necessarily a barrier. The requirement is urgent, so please shoot me your CV ASAP.
