Program Overview

The mining engineering technician program prepares you for a successful career in the mining industry.

Mining engineering technicians are the educated and practical connection between mining engineers, geoscientists and the other mine departments. They use technology to collect and analyze data, report findings and help operating departments be successful throughout the mine life. Engineering technicians work in mines and mineral processing plants across northern Ontario and around the world.

They monitor the plant operation and adjust chemistry and machinery to optimize recovery of minerals such as base metals, industrial minerals, gold or diamonds; and they prepare reports that guide management of a mine site. They help with the environmentally responsible operation of mine waste storage areas and play key roles in their reclamation.

Engineering technicians work in teams with engineers and geologists to plan and design surface and underground mine excavations to access and extract valuable minerals. They select equipment and plan efficient use of explosives and materials. They use drawings and communication tools to help mine operators understand and follow the plans, and they use technology to monitor the mining work to make sure the plans are followed. They measure the results and calculate performance to produce reports that help the mine operate as a profitable business.
