Main workplaces

Mining Technicians they operate in extractive industries of mineral coal, oil, natural gas, metallic minerals and other minerals, as well as in water collection, purification and distribution industries. They can work indoors, outdoors or in vehicles at irregular hours or by rotating shifts. They are subject to confined or underground work. Often, they work in uncomfortable positions, for long periods, exposed to radiation, high or low temperatures, intense noise and toxic material. They are salaried employees, with a formal contract, who are organized into cooperation teams, under the occasional supervision of engineers.

What does it take to work in the field of Mining Technicians

The exercise of the profession of Mining Technicians requires a mid-level technical course in mining in related areas. It is also desirable to take a specialization course of up to two hundred class hours. The full performance of the activities inherent to the occupations takes between one and two years of experience. The professionals of these occupations are able to execute, supervise and guide activities of prospection of deposits, drilling and blasting in mines and treatment of ores, as well as controlling the mining schedule via computer.
