Rethinking what it means to work in mining
Mining has long shaped communities in South Wales, with coal from the pits fuelling the industrial revolution. And today the industry is now at the forefront of a new industrial revolution, providing the minerals needed to deliver the green transition.
At SRK Consulting, engineers and scientists are embedding sustainability into every stage of the mining process. From designing safer, longer-lasting landforms to using data, AI and machine learning to reduce material waste, the team is focused on solutions that minimise environmental impact and protect natural resources.
For Jamie Spiers, Principal Geotechnical and Tailings Engineer, that means designing with closure in mind from day one. “The ultimate goal is to return the land to the community. Everything we do is shaped by that responsibility.”
As the sector transitions, so does the skillset — with opportunities spanning geology, geochemistry, AI, engineering, and more.
