Meet Logan from Engineering

Video transcript:

I am Logan Garland, and I am a Process Engineer at TQC. The Quartz Corp is a mining company based in Spruce Pine, North Carolina and Drag, Norway. We produce high purity quartz, feldspar & mica.

Without our high purity quartz in Spruce Pine North Carolina, you wouldn’t have fiber optics cables, you wouldn’t have your computers, cell phones, anything that has a computer chip in it, solar panels, green energy, you wouldn’t have any of that without the quartz.

I started here in the summer of 2017 as just a summer intern and then I went back to college after that. And after finishing my degree and went and worked in a completely different industry for a couple years and then I came back. Since I have been here as a full-time employee it’s been nothing short of just amazing.

My day to day as a process engineer involves a lot of process monitoring and doing a lot of process improvement type projects. We basically work with the process from the time the raw ore enters the plant.

Quartz Corp is a very caring company they care number one for your safety. There’s a lot of companies that say they care about safety, and they just go through the motions but at The Quartz Corp, it’s to another level. It’s the number one goal here every day.

They are also a great company because they promote your growth as a professional. Since I have been here as a full-time employee, they have helped me go back to school to work on another degree. They have helped me get several certificates of different types of things. It's really good that we have so much support from everybody. Everybody here works as a team, and you will see that straight off the bat. The work environment and your teammates here at The Quartz Corp are amazing.
