Quote by Anna Krause, Senior Application Engineer XRT for TOMRA Mining

What does a typical day look like for you? 

Every day is different. On Monday we are sorting Gold Ore from Peru, while on Tuesday I’m supporting the commissioning of a fluorite plant in Mexico, evaluating magnesite assays, or preparing a field visit to Namibia to sort rare earths. No two days are ever the same. 

What inspired you to join TOMRA? 

Raw materials are essential to society today. I studied mining because I wanted to make the industry more sustainable and help protect the Earth’s resources. I’m proud to work for a company that is leading the resource revolution in the mining sector. 

What are some of your hobbies or interests outside of work? 

I’m a music enthusiast. I love going to concerts with my friends and really enjoy singing. I sing alto in a classical choir and have a soft spot for karaoke – customers sometimes even get a small preview when I start singing in the Test Center. 

How would you describe the culture at TOMRA? 

I’m happy to work in a place where I can be 100% myself. TOMRA has always made me feel that I’m good enough as I am. 

What does diversity mean to you at TOMRA? 

Diversity at TOMRA makes my life richer and is a key element in generating positive and creative ideas.
