Mining Engineer Career
Mining engineers manage and plan the mining operation underground or on surface, training crews of workers and supervisors to run the mining operations safely and efficiently. The responsibilities of a mining engineer may differ from company to company, depending on the vision, mission and culture.
Before applying for a job at a mine group familiarise yourself with the company policy, most of that information will be available on the website of the company you intend to approach.
Mining engineers help to plan ways of restoring the land around mine sites to save the natural environment for new generations, most mining companies use sub-contractors since environmental issues is not their speciality, cooperating with the law is what is expected of mining companies.
Engineering very much like medicine or any other field has many areas in which to specialise and expand your unique abilities.

Mining Engineering
The Department is the only contact institution offering formal tuition towards the National Diploma and Bachelor of Technology mining engineering programmes, and is uniquely career-focused.
It is closely aligned with the mining industry and mining organisations in South Africa, enabling many students to link with potential employers prior to graduation.
The Department is involved with the ongoing development of mining education within UJ as well as more broadly, running professional development courses for industry and providing technical expertise outside of South Africa for the development of mining education in southern Africa.
Graduates have the knowledge to run production sections of mines at managerial level and to make technical contributions to the economic and operational aspects of mining. They are trained to select and manage the correct method of mining in specific geological environments.
Programmes offered by the Department are currently accredited by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA).
