ATOMIC

Prepare technical reports for use by mining, engineering, and management personnel.

ATOMIC

Inspect mining areas for unsafe structures, equipment, and working conditions.

ATOMIC

Select or develop mineral location, extraction, and production methods, based on factors such as safety, cost, and deposit characteristics.

ATOMIC

Select locations and plan underground or surface mining operations, specifying processes, labor usage, and equipment that will result in safe, economical, and environmentally sound extraction of minerals and ores.

ATOMIC

Prepare schedules, reports, and estimates of the costs involved in developing and operating mines.

ATOMIC

Monitor mine production rates to assess operational effectiveness.

ATOMIC

Supervise, train, and evaluate technicians, technologists, survey personnel, engineers, scientists or other mine personnel.

ATOMIC

Examine maps, deposits, drilling locations, or mines to determine the location, size, accessibility, contents, value, and potential profitability of mineral, oil, and gas deposits.

ATOMIC

Design, implement, and monitor the development of mines, facilities, systems, or equipment.

ATOMIC

Test air to detect toxic gases and recommend measures to remove them, such as installation of ventilation shafts.

ATOMIC

Implement and coordinate mine safety programs, including the design and maintenance of protective and rescue equipment and safety devices.

ATOMIC

ATOMIC

Lay out, direct, and supervise mine construction operations, such as the construction of shafts and tunnels.

ATOMIC

Design, develop, and implement computer applications for use in mining operations such as mine design, modeling, or mapping or for monitoring mine conditions.

ATOMIC

Select or devise materials-handling methods and equipment to transport ore, waste materials, and mineral products efficiently and economically.

ATOMIC

Evaluate data to develop new mining products, equipment, or processes.

ATOMIC

Design mining and mineral treatment equipment and machinery in collaboration with other engineering specialists.

ATOMIC

Conduct or direct mining experiments to test or prove research findings.
