Mine ventilation engineer jobs in Finland
Mine ventilation engineers design and manage systems and equipment to ensure fresh air supply and air circulation in underground mines and the timely removal of noxious gases. They co-ordinate ventilation system design with mine management, mine safety engineer and mine planning engineer.
Mine ventilation engineer - Which skills are essential?
Utilise computer equipment or digital devices to facilitate quality control, data management, and communication. Follow instructions given by a computer programme, create computer files or documents.
Implement safety programmes to comply with national laws and legislation. Ensure that equipment and processes are compliant with safety regulations.
Identify operating problems, decide what to do about it and report accordingly.
Understand design drawings detailing the design of products, tools, and engineering systems.
The laws, regulations and codes of practice relevant to safety in mining operations.
React quickly in case of emergency and set planned emergency procedures in motion.
Monitor, audit and manage the air quality of the mine. Monitor the ventilation equipment. Manage air sampling equipment designed to identify toxic gases, and provide advice and direction on how to remove them, e.g. by installing ventilation fans.
The principles of computer-manipulated fluid mechanics, which determines the behaviour of fluids in motion.
Oversee the selection, training, performance and motivation of staff.
Prepare technical reports that describe results and processes of scientific or technical research, or assess its progress. These reports help researchers to keep up to date with recent findings.
Use specialised software to plan, design and model for mining operations.
Identify the strengths and weaknesses of various abstract, rational concepts, such as issues, opinions, and approaches related to a specific problematic situation in order to formulate solutions and alternative methods of tackling the situation.
Draft ventilation network. Prepare and plan the ventilation layout using specialist software. Design heating or cooling systems as required. Improve efficiency of ventilation network to lower energy consumption.
Mine ventilation engineer - Which skills are useful but not essential?
Create technical designs and technical drawings using specialised software.
Fields of engineering relevant to mining operations. Principles, techniques, procedures and equipment used in the extraction of minerals.
Solid earth, rock types, structures and the processes by which they are altered.
The functioning of electronic circuit boards, processors, chips, and computer hardware and software, including programming and applications. Apply this knowledge to ensure electronic equipment runs smoothly.
The rules and risks affecting health and safety when working underground.
Understand the principles of electricity and electrical power circuits, as well as the associated risks.
Monitor total costs of mining activities, projects and required equipment; pursue maximum operational cost efficiency.
Theoretical and practical applications of the science studying the action of displacements and forces on physical bodies to the development of machinery and mechanical devices.
