Day in the life: Mining engineers create and design mines that are safe and efficient to remove minerals such as coals and metals from the mine for manufacturing and utilities. Moreover, mining engineers spend a lot time in meetings regarding a present or upcoming project. When they are not present at the meetings, the mining engineers will drive around the open pit, or go to the underground plants where they walk around to see if things are going as they should. And if things are not going as they should, they ask the people who are supposed to be making things go efficiently if they are going efficiently and the mining engineers would also remind them of their important duties and task. Occasionally, mining engineers leave the mine and go to the office building in some distant city where the head office is located. Furthermore, they meet with senior mining engineers, accountants, and lawyers to talk about the legal and financial operation aspects regarding the upcoming or present mining project.
