Mining and metallurgical technicians perform technical tasks
connected with metallurgical research to develop improved
methods of extracting solid minerals, oil and gas, as well as
with the design, construction, operation, maintenance and repair
of mines and mine installations, systems for transporting and
storing oil and natural gas, and plant for extracting metals
from their ores and refining metal.
Tasks include -
(a) providing technical assistance connected with research and
the development of processes to determine the properties
of metal and new alloys, or of improved methods for the
extraction of solid minerals, oil and natural gas, and for
transporting and storing oil and natural gas, or testing
prototypes;
(b) providing technical assistance in geological and
topographical surveys, and in the design and layout of oil,
natural gas and mineral ore extraction and transport
systems, and processing and refining plant for minerals and
