Surface Mine Plant Operator
23 eLearning modules · CPD Certified · SCORM
This course helps surface mine plant operators master the operation of heavy-duty equipment such as excavators and dump trucks, essential for excavating, loading, and transporting ore, raw minerals, and overburden at quarries and surface mines. You will develop crucial spatial awareness, apply geological knowledge to manage ground conditions safely, and master efficient excavation techniques. The programme covers fundamental engineering mechanics, the safe operation of various mining tools, including bulldozers, front loaders, bucket wheel excavators, and dump trucks, alongside driving light and heavy vehicles. You will also gain skills in minor equipment repairs, making independent operating decisions, and managing unexpected circumstances under pressure, ensuring efficient, productive, and safe operations.
