Environmental professionals can be involved in many tasks within the resources sector. They assess the impact on air, water, soil and noise levels in areas near resources sector operations, and plan and design equipment and processes for the treatment and safe disposal of waste materials.

• Develop ways of minimising harm to the environment, based on the study and assessment processes, environmental legislation and physical, biological, social and cultural environments
• Undertake laboratory work, analysing pollutants, identifying their sources and assessing their effects
• Monitoring and evaluating the environmental and social impacts of engineering projects and development activities
• Rehabilitating land, water and air affected by resources sector operations

A bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline. This could be a Bachelor of Engineering majoring in Environmental Engineering or a Bachelor of Environmental Engineering

Mechanical engineers work within a broad range of roles within the engineering discipline, using their knowledge and understanding of mechanical power to develop and build machines, tools, engines and other products.

• Analyse problems to determine project requirements
• Design and develop mechanical devices using computer-aided design (CAD)
• Create and test prototypes and analyse the results of the testing
• Modify designs based on test results

Process technicians take raw materials, including minerals and resources, and turn them into their final forms, before they are turned into finished goods. They use tools and equipment to crush, grind and screen raw materials such as coal, copper and other metal ores, and gas products. Some roles may focus more on maintenance of plant machines and equipment used to process resources.

• Conduct site sampling and testing of samples for quality and optimisation purposes
• Conducting regular inspections of plant equipment to ensure they are functioning as expected
• Assembling and dismantling equipment and fittings of simple and complex machinery
• Operating plant equipment including conveyors, crushers, screening equipment, and other industrial processes

To become an Process Technician, you may need to complete some vocational qualifications before or during your work.

Facility engineers use engineering skills, in particular mechanical engineering skills and knowledge to ensure the operation of their facility is operating at an optimum. This can include planning, designing and overseeing the development, installation, operation and maintenance of machinery. They conduct research to solve practical engineering problems and improve efficiency.

• Design new machines, equipment or systems, taking into account cost, availability of materials, strength and maintenance requirements
• Consider the appearance of the designs as well as the impact on the user and on the environment
• Use computer-aided design to assist in design and drawing
• Supervise the operation of process plants and set up work control systems (e.g. testing of equipment) to make sure the standards of performance, quality, cost and safety are met

Metallurgical engineers design, develop and operate the industrial processes that transform source materials into the useful materials and manufactured products essential for the functioning of modern society. Industrial scale metallurgical operations carefully combine physical and chemical separation processes to efficiently extract, refine and recycle metals such as aluminium and copper.

• Study and apply physical methods for separating minerals from their ores using magnetic, electric, gravity or chemical methods
• Apply methods for extracting commercial quantities of minerals from their ores
• Improve process methods and prepare technical reports
• Develop and control methods of storing and treating waste material

A bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline. This could be a Bachelor of Science majoring in Metallurgy, or a Bachelor of Engineering majoring in Metallurgical or Chemical Engineering.
