Electrical Engineering

Electrical engineers apply scientific and engineering principles in the research, design, manufacture, operation and maintenance of electrical and electronic equipment, machine systems and components. Electrical engineers in the minerals and energy industry may plan and supervise generating equipment; supervise construction plans and specifications; and supervise operating and maintenance staff.

Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineers apply engineering principles in the employment of energy, machinery, equipment and materials. They design machines and mechanical installations and evaluate installed machinery, processes and products. 

Mining Engineering

Mining engineers plan and direct the various engineering aspects of extracting minerals from the earth. They prepare initial plans for the type, size, location and construction of open pit or underground mines. 

Geotechnical Engineering

Geotechnical engineers have responsibility for operational ground control issues in the open pit/underground where different mining methods are used.  Geotechnical engineers collect geotechnical data on the rock mass; monitor the performance of the excavations and installed support systems; design, install, maintain and use of geotechnical instrumentation to assess the response of the rock mass to the mining activities; and for the interpretation and reporting of data collected. 

Field/Exploration Geologists carry out surveys and fieldwork to determine the geological structure, distribution and age of rocks; and can indicate where particular natural resources are likely to be found

Mine Geologists control the grade (or quality) of the ore mined and locate extensions to ore deposits, by deciding which areas of an ore body should be mined at a particular time in the open pit/underground developments defining the ore limits at the mine based on economic considerations. 

Metallurgists work at mine sites in concentrators and metal recovery operations, in smelters, metal refineries, foundries and research and development laboratories. They use their knowledge of chemistry and physics, mineralogy, underlying process fundamentals and process engineering to control and improve the processes that separate, concentrate and recover minerals and their valuable metals from the natural ores. 

Surveyors assemble and assess land and geographic information which is used for planning and regulation of the land, the sea and related structures.  Mine Surveyors measure underground and open-cut mine workings in full detail.  Surveyors may spend a lot of time working outdoors. They also work in offices, analysing data and preparing plans and reports.

Environmental scientist's measure and record features of the environment and study, assess and develop methods of controlling or minimising the harmful effects of human activity on the environment.  Environmental scientists usually work with a range of other professional and technical staff. 

Safety and health professionals develop and coordinate safety and health systems and strategy in an organization, identify hazards and assess risks to safety and health, put appropriate safety controls in place, and provide advice on accident prevention and occupational heath to management and employees.
