Atlas of new professions studied mining and metallurgical complex of Kazakhstan at all stages: from geological exploration, mining, enrichment, production of primary products of ferrous and nonferrous metallurgy. Issues of environmental protection, processing of grip and sludge were also considered. To create an atlas of new professions in the mining and metallurgical industry, 4 in-depth interviews were conducted, questionnaires on forecasts of the future of the industry with 131 industry experts, as well as 40 experts took part in foresight sessions. As a result, 47 new professions were developed, 20 transforming and 31 disappearing professions were defined.

1. NEW APPROACHES TO MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
First of all, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the strongest transformations of MMC take place in the sphere of equipment maintenance. Enterprises strive to minimize equipment breakdowns and downtime. That is why, for success in the future, enterprises are implementing predictive analytics, as well as methods of lean organization of repair and maintenance work. In this area, there is the most demand for new professions that are already in demand today, and in the next 5 years they will be increasingly in short supply. Approaches to managing the economics of full cycle equipment are also being introduced.
If you want to be at the origin of the Deep MODERNISATION of Mining and Metallurgical Equipment of Kazakhstan, one of the following professions will suit you:
2. DIGITAL INNOVATION AND REMOTE MANAGEMENT
Secondly, it should be noted that companies are actively implementing digital solutions: the transition to remote management, the use of drones, as well as work on the collection of large data and their processing. This will lead to the fact that the workers will perform fewer and fewer physical operations, some areas will be fully automated.
The work of miners and metallurgists for over a hundred years has been considered one of the most difficult and dangerous. The miners worked underground, constantly risking their lives: methane explosions, rock falls, and sudden floods took the lives of dozens of miners. Now, fewer and fewer people will be in the danger zone. Labor in conditions of high temperatures, dampness, risk of accidents is a thing of the past. Sensors installed in the mines and production halls will be the eyes of the workers, and the engineers will be assisted by data processing and machine training specialists to make decisions. The solutions will be of higher quality, and the efficiency of the miners' and metallurgists' work will be higher. Robots and machines will be working in heavy and dangerous areas, which operators will manage from a safe office.
You can realize your potential by solving the tasks of OPTIMIZATION OF MANUFACTURERS by choosing one of the IT-SPHERE occupations:
In 5-7 years Dy will be able to work in one of the professions of the main production of GORNOMETAL METALURGICAL COMPLEX, without fear for their safety:
3. RECYCLING AND ECOLOGY
The mining and metallurgical complex will become an attractive area for specialists wishing to realize themselves in the field of environmental protection and preservation of natural resources. The specialists of the future will have to solve many tasks to reduce the harmful impact of mining and metal smelting. The ideal picture of the metallurgical plant of the future is a plant that is so clean that the staff can wear white robes.
Waste containing precious metals, useful materials and capable of becoming a raw material for the production of useful products has been accumulated during the decades of operation of the mining and metallurgical complex. This direction only appears and the companies take the first steps in this direction. However, in the nearest future this sphere will become one of the most important for MMC. Large enterprises may become real research centers, developing and accumulating technologies for processing, waste disposal and reduction of hazardous emissions. Quarries, waste heaps, abandoned production facilities of closed mines and workshops will cease to be post-apocalyptic decorations. They will turn into industrial tourism, recreation and storage facilities, become film sets and perform a lot of other useful functions.
Such specialists will solve noble and ambitious tasks of environmental protection:
4. NEXT GENERATION CHALLENGES
Work at the enterprises of the mining and metallurgical complex will not only be safe, but also adapted to the needs of representatives of generations X, U, millenniums. Companies will have to actively create internal social networks at the enterprises, introduce elements of gamification in building individual career plans of employees. The concept of designing of monocities will also change. Conditions will be created for self-realization of miners and metallurgists, their families. Comfortable public spaces, cultural events and leisure facilities are an integral part of the cities.
The largest enterprises of the industry will become a place of work for specialists involved in creating COMFORT PUBLIC LIFE SERVICES of people:
