Chief Executive Officer of SACOME Jason Kuchel has announced his decision to step down from his role at the end of November.
Mr Kuchel has been in the role for almost ten years, and has seen many changes within the resources sector during this time.
He has played an important part in supporting exploration in South Australia through direct advocacy for the Exploration Development Incentive and the South Australian Government PACE program. His push for greater opportunity and initiatives were a key part in influencing the set-up of the SA Nuclear Royal Commission initiative.
“Jason has been an active promoter of the mining, oil and gas and resources service sectors in South Australia,” SACOME president Terry Burgess said.
“His focus on policy and advocacy has held him in good stead with members, regulators, Government and the community.
“The focus on community is reflected in many of the very successful SACOME functions and initiatives, and also the new Resourcing SA Journal, which Jason and the SACOME Directors developed in 2015.
“In addition, he has actively supported the development of the Women in Resources SA committee and its incorporation into SACOME, and partnered with Global Maintenance Upper Spencer Gulf to hold the largest annual conference in rural South Australia.
“The Dirt TV program whereby high school students are encouraged to make films on the uses and benefits of mining and oil & gas is a prime example of an excellent initiative under Jason’s leadership”.
The SACOME Council has commenced a search for a new CEO.
