Dompu, August 8, 2024— Working in a multicultural mining company, with diverse people and challenges, does not discourage Dedy Julkarnain. Born in Marada Village, Hu’u Subdistrict 31 years ago, Dedy is always confident and continues to develop his potential. Currently, he dedicates his best efforts to PT Sumbawa Timur Mining (STM) with the Emergency Response Team (ERT) and the Health, Safety & Risk (HSR) Department.
Dedy Julkarnain is a familiar name among STM employees, especially in the Hu’u Site working area. This smiling man has a good relationship with his colleagues, both in terms of work and daily life. As a friendly and helpful person, Dedy embraces his role at ERT wholeheartedly. For him, keeping others safe is more than just a job: it’s a calling because life comes first for everyone.
Dedy, who was met on the sidelines of his activities, expressed his gratitude for being able to join the Hu’u Project run by STM. He is very pleased to be able to participate in optimizing the potential of natural resources in his area, not only for the benefit of a few people but for the better development of the Dompu Regency. He also appreciates STM’s management for paying attention to local talents like him to grow and develop together.
With a Bachelor’s degree in Social Science from Universitas Muhammadiyah Mataram, he joined STM for the New Staging construction project in late 2018. He briefly joined STM’s geothermal project as an administrative assistant and foreman. In early 2023, Dedy solidified his career with the ERT HSR department. Dedy’s affinity for new challenges makes it easy for him to adapt to new work environments and fields.
He said that the management of STM continues to encourage him as a local citizen to improve his self-capacity with various trainings in accordance with the development of the project.
This is very extraordinary since I joined STM. The leadership and management continue to support us as local citizens to improve our technical and non-technical knowledge, and it is all covered by the company.
As an ERT member, Dedy is responsible for ensuring that visiting guests and newly joined STM business partner contractors are given safety awareness, as well as victim evacuation measures. This requires him to continuously improve his self-capacity through certified training and independent practice.
Some of the training and certificates of expertise that Dedy has successfully gained include Confined Space Rescue, Authorized Gas Tester (AGT), Labor at Heights Level 1-2, SAR, Vertical Rescue/Rugged Terrain Rescue, Forest and Land Fire Management, Class D-B Fire Officer, First Aid Level 3, Multiple Casual Incident Plan (MCIP), Road Accident Rescue (RAR), H2S Gas Hazard Safety Handling, and First Operational Supervisor.
Dedy believes that the Hu’u Project will grow rapidly. More and more people will come, locally, nationally, and even internationally, to work together to advance the project. As a local talent, he is optimistic that he can continue to give his best and does not feel threatened by these developments. Moreover, the company always encourages its employees to go one step further every day through various programs provided.
As an ERT team member, he also advised all his coworkers to continue to work together to maintain this project as best as possible, starting with maintaining their own safety. In the next few years, the exploration stage will move towards the construction and production stages, presenting more diverse challenges. All parties involved in this project must prepare themselves to achieve the company’s goal of becoming a world-class mine powered by renewable energy.
“This industry has a high work risk. Therefore, we must prepare ourselves by maintaining health, exercising diligently, being aware of the surrounding work area, and not getting tired of continuing to expand our horizons through activities that meet the needs of each specific profession and expertise,” said the man who also enjoys music and rock climbing.
