Quarries also depend on a range of technical experts from time to time such as engineers, geologists, lab technicians and environment scientists.

The size of the quarry determines the roles required.

These may include:

Quarry Manager: whose role is to lead and manage the quarry as a whole, incorporating responsibility for safety, production, maintenance, pit development, people, sales, etc. The scope of the Quarry Manager’s role will vary greatly depending on the company and size of the quarry.
