Hi all, currently an early career geotechnical engineer with 1.5 years experience undergrad, and 2 years graduate. Have Bachelor of Eng (hons) in civil, Aus resident/ citizen etc.

Looking at changing roles to mining and I see there is quite a few in up for grabs for grad mining engineers and similar. Noting that a lot of these say “ mining engineer degree / or equivalent “. I Understand I’ll need to learn essentially all of it from scratch, and not looking to jump straight into a role.

Am I wrong to think that I would be a fair candidate for grad mining engineer roles, if the 3.5 years experience as a professional is weighed up compared to not actually completing a specific mining engineer degree?

Reckon I should just go for it? Any tips otherwise? Thanks in advance

Looking for suggestions and what people have been using for in terms of a durable tablet brand. We are planning on buying some tablets for a few diamond and RC rigs to enter PLOD instead of rewriting them from paper to excel etc. The mine is in Burkina so has a heavy wet season and lots of dust, sand, and heat. I'm looking at Samsung Active5, but not sure if they would withstand the environment.

Cheers!

Interested in rotational shift work and I feel like I’ve exhausted all avenues of typical construction work. Can anyone share their experience how they got into the industry from residential/ light commercial?

I am a superintendent, have owned a framing company and did that for 7 years, about 15 years total carpentry experience

Am I hireable or might I struggle? BC located will go anywhere

Hello guys I recently came in here asking for tips on how to join the mining industry with no experience and a little construction experience.

I’m 20 living in Sudbury ON, and always had a passion to work in the mines yes I know it’s not an easy process but right now I’m feeling like it’s kinda impossible. I’ve applied to over 75 entry level jobs like driller helper or assistant, nipper, etc, I’ve even reached out to companies I’m not sure where to go from here, I know not having my surface or U/G common core really hurts me but all I want is something that’ll get my foot in the door and in all honesty I do not have 11k to do the U/G common core course, I was told by people on here keep applying and someone is bound to train me but what do I actually got to do to get my foot in the door, anyone who works in the mines currently around Sudbury Ontario can give me a few tips that would be great I really don’t wanna give up.
