Mining equipment fitter – a profession with a history that will secure your future

The first mentions of the locksmith trade appeared in 1463 in the Vienna archive, and since then, along with technological progress, the profession has continued to evolve. Over time, the profession was divided into subclasses, depending on the job the worker performed. One type of work is mining.
A mining equipment fitter is a sought-after profession that nowadays uses developments in the field of computer technology and new technologies in the mining industry. The worker performs repair, assembly, disassembly, adjustment, and other types of mechanical work at mining enterprises. The work is in demand and critical, since it can be carried out not only on the ground, but also in underground workings, and requires strict adherence to safety regulations. Depending on the nature of the violations committed and the consequences, a mechanic bears disciplinary, material, or criminal liability following the current legislation of the Russian Federation.
