Do we have any coal miners on the forum?

This may very well be the only reply I needed. Yes, the job would be maintaining the equipment
I give you all the credit in the world because I have a idea of the environment you work in and the one your asking about. Its not for the weak of mind and body, long hours, all kinds of weather. I know because I did similar in power gen and ship repair.
The thing is and I have no real idea of what is currently going on but is there a future in the coal industry.
Good luck
