What's on offer? Mining Engineer/Mine Manager
Mining Engineering is about recovering raw materials, such as metals and minerals, from the ground, either through a tunnelling system or an open cast mine or quarry. A mine manager is responsible for the overall management of the mine including planning, budgeting, staffing, cost containment, and profitability. It is not possible to gain a mine manager’s certificate without an approved degree specifically in mining engineering.
Mining Engineers are responsible for finding, extracting, and preparing raw materials in a sustainable, safe, environmentally responsible and economic way and then processing, marketing and selling them to customers across the globe. Todays mining engineers must have a broad education, which includes environmental management, economics, safety and health, law and commerce, as well as civil and mechanical engineering, geology and metallurgy. Experienced mining engineers have a wide variety of career options including becoming mine planners and designers, consultants for tunnelling operations (for road, rail, hydro-electric, water supply or sewerage works), operations managers, technical specialists (eg. rock mechanics, drilling and blasting, mine machinery or ventilation), investment analysts and advisers, researchers, or general managers and mine managers.
Personal qualities required include management and leadership skills, confidence in talking to and instructing other people, responsible, forward thinking, work well under pressure, enjoy a challenge, and have an interest in travelling.
