What's on offer? Minerals Surveyor
Minerals surveyors are concerned with the use, value, management and exploitation of mineral deposits, and the mapping and recording of the extent of mineral extraction.
They prepare initial surveys to determine the economic viability of a potential site and to support planning applications, taking account of possible environmental effects such as air and water pollution. Surveyors negotiate legal contracts to establish rights to work a mine, gain access to land and build communications links. They carry out detailed site surveys to enable valuations of the mineral content of a mine or quarry. This involves charting surface and underground features using complex electronic equipment. Minerals surveyors manage and develop quarries and mines, ensuring that workings are safe. When a site is exhausted, they advise how the waste material should be disposed. They may also advise on environment legislation and the reclamation of derelict and contaminated land.
Personal qualities required include the ability to plan and prioritise effectively, have strong communication, negotiation and presentation skills, have strong analytical skills and an innovative approach to problem solving, and be able to work as part of a team and take responsibility for decision making.
