quarry engineer
Quarry engineers analyse which extraction methods such as excavating, drilling and blasting are most suited to extract raw materials from the ground. They develop plans before a new quarry is opened, assessing if the quarry is profitable. Quarry engineers manage the everyday operations in a quarry, create and maintain progress reports, oversee the staff, ensure health and safety and assess the environmental impact a quarry has on its environment.
Also called: mining engineer, explosives engineer, quarry manager, drill and blast engineer, mine planning engineer, drilling and blasting supervisor, mine engineer, drilling and blasting engineer
