TITLE(s): MINING ENGINEER (mine & quarry)
Conducts research to determine location and methods of extracting minerals, such as metallic ores
and nonmetallic substances, such as coal, stone, and gravel: Conducts or collaborates in geological
exploration, and reviews maps and drilling logs to determine location, size, accessibility, and
estimated value of mineral deposit. Determines methods to extract minerals, considering factors such
as safety, operational costs, deposit characteristics, overburden depth, and surrounding strata.
Plans, recommends, and coordinates mining process, type and capacity of haulage equipment, such as
power shovels and trucks, and labor utilization. Lays out and directs mine construction operations,
such as location and development of shafts, tunnels, chambers, position of excavation benches
(levels), and access roads. Designs, implements, and monitors facility projects, such as water and
power supply, ventilation system, rock-dust and radon gas control, drainage, rail and conveyor
systems, and material cleaning, grading, and reduction systems. May devise methods and locations to
store and replace excavated soil to reclaim mine sites. May analyze labor requirements, equipment
needs, and operational costs to compute and prepare annual budget reports. May apply knowledge of
mining engineering to solve problems concerned with environment.
