Oil Patch Bits: Golder Associates adds three new team members

Golder Associates Inc. said Oct. 16 that its Anchorage office welcomes three new hires: Ryan Campbell, as an engineering geologist; John Thornley, as a project geotechnical engineer; and Jeffrey Levison as an engineer.

Prior to joining Golder Associates, Campbell worked as a mineral exploration geologist, looking for precious metals both in Alaska and in the Lower 48. He has more than three years of experience running surficial sampling and drill programs in very remote settings and graduated from the University of Alaska Anchorage with a Bachelor of Science degree in geology and is a member of the Alaska Miners Association.

Thornley served as field manager of geotechnical studies and prepared geotechnical recommendations for roads, airports, and foundations for a variety of structures in the arctic and sub-arctic regions of Alaska, prior to joining Golder. He has more than seven years of geotechnical engineering field exploration and design experience and is a graduate of the University of Nevada, Reno with a master’s degree in geotechnical engineering.

Levison joins Golder with a B.S. degree in geological engineering and a minor in geology from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. While in school, he was a geological intern with Hecla-Greens Creek Mine on their Surface Exploration team, a field technician for the Cold Climate Housing Research Center, and most recently, a construction manager for Discovery Gold Tours.
