What is it Like to Work as a Mechanical Engineer in Mining?
Note: conditions vary according to employer and region.
Mechanical Engineers are likely based in an office on (or near) the mine site, but spend much of their time at the mine. They may be exposed to challenging working conditions and may be required to work safely in confined spaces, at heights and near open holes. They must be willing and able to climb ladders and steel ramps on the surface and underground.
