I am currently an area engineer for a coal mine! I put together the plans for mining in my area from start to finish. This includes topsoil removal, pre-bench blast patterns, pre-bench removal, drill prep, blast patterns, dragline designs, ramp progressions, and any other design work around the area! I also have the great opportunity to go out into the field and see my design work in action, which really helps me doing a check and balance of if my design is working how I invisioned it (and modeled it) or not.
