Where a quarry engineer can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a quarry engineer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

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 known as quarry manager, mine planning engineer, drilling and blasting engineer, mine engineer, drilling & blasting engineer, drilling and blasting supervisor, mining engineer, explosives engineer, drill & blast engineer, drill and blast engineer.
