What is a mining reclamation?

A Mining Reclamation job involves restoring land that has been disturbed by mining activities to a safe and environmentally sustainable condition. Professionals in this field work to stabilize soil, replant vegetation, and ensure water quality is maintained. They collaborate with environmental scientists, engineers, and regulatory agencies to meet legal and ecological standards. The goal is to minimize the long-term impact of mining and return the land to a usable state, such as for wildlife habitats or agriculture.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of a mining reclamation professional?

Professionals in mining reclamation typically assess environmental impacts, develop and implement plans for restoring mined land, and monitor sites for compliance with environmental regulations. Their daily tasks may include soil sampling, vegetation planning, managing erosion control measures, and preparing detailed reports for regulatory agencies. Collaboration with engineers, ecologists, and local authorities is common, as is coordinating with mining companies to meet reclamation goals. This work is usually a mix of fieldwork and office-based documentation. The role is both hands-on and collaborative, offering the chance to make a tangible positive impact on the environment.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed for mining reclamation?

To thrive in Mining Reclamation, you need in-depth knowledge of environmental science, soil remediation, hydrology, and land restoration practices, typically with a bachelor's degree in environmental science, geology, or a related field. Familiarity with GIS mapping software, environmental monitoring equipment, and certifications such as Professional Engineer (PE) or Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC) are often required. Strong problem-solving abilities, project management skills, and effective communication with regulatory agencies and stakeholders are highly valued soft skills. These qualifications ensure safe, sustainable, and compliant restoration of mining sites, balancing ecological health with industry regulations.

  • A balance of technical problem-solving with business and project objectives.

Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Civil, Geological, Geotechnical, Environmental, or Mining Engineering, or related field
  • Approximately 5+ years of technical experience in environmental remediation and site assessments, report writing, data management & interpretation, project coordination, and managing clients.
  • Project management experience is required beyond day-to-day task management (e.g., defining project scope/objectives, establishing and monitoring budgets, allocating resources, anticipating/mitigating risks).
  • Understanding of project management principles and methodologies required
  • Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines required.
  • Strong organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills required.
  • Prior experience coordinating projects, task teams, and technical work packages required
  • Exposure to project budgeting, scheduling, forecasting, or client management preferred
  • Exposure to project management systems such as project accounting software (e.g., BST, Deltek, etc.), MS Project, and/or Primavera P6 preferred,
  • Experience in remediation and reclamation of legacy mine sites preferred.
  • CERCLA, RCRA, and/or state-led remediation program experience a plus.
  • OSHA 40-hour HAZWOPER certification desired
  • MSHA 24-hour New Miner training desired, but not required
  • Ability and willingness to travel to client meetings is required
  • PE a plus, but not required
