¿Cómo pueden los Ingenieros de Minas negociar un aumento de sueldo o un ascenso?

Negotiating a raise or promotion as a mining engineer involves research on industry standards, documenting achievements, and understanding company policies. Choose an opportune time, request a meeting, and present a strong case by emphasizing your value and market worth. Be open to discussion, express commitment, and explore negotiable benefits if necessary. Summarize key points in writing, be patient during the decision-making process, and consider economic conditions. A professional and prepared approach increases the likelihood of a positive outcome.

I agree with the two contributors but, my feel after 47 years active is that a good company should / must have a system in place where their assets are monitored and measured against KPI's and regular feedback given to the candidate. The value of each person is then known to the company and there is no need to go and beg for a raise. If your company does not value or know your contribution you must rethink your position. I would then rather go.

One thing I have found helpful for mining engineers looking to negotiate a raise or promotion is to come prepared with a solid record of your achievements and contributions to the company. This might include successful project completions, innovations that improved efficiency or safety, cost-saving measures you implemented, or any commendable leadership roles you've taken on. Presenting quantifiable results and demonstrating how your work has directly benefited the company can make a strong case for your promotion or raise. Actually, I disagree with the approach of only focusing on past achievements. While these are important, it's equally crucial to present a vision for your future contributions.

You got to show yourself that all the considerations and thoughts are putting into your drill and blast related work, that is starting from bench preparation to mill throughput. Once you understand this whole process and start analyzing how your contribution to your work is creating much efficient and optimized blasting results, then you tie that with dollar value and constantly present it to you management team. Then your upper management gets an idea of what you are doing and most likely you are in their top list for up in promotion next year.

We, firstly, have to prove that we deserve the raise/promotion and must also be fully competent in the position we currently occupying. Time to time must act/cover for the position that you are working towards to when that person is not available. Show that you care about the business. Promotion and pay rise will work its way in.

You need to be seen as an asset to the company you are working with by having more responsibilities, be a person others can rely upon and committed to train graduates. Also, knowing how to get along well with people of all levels with a foundation of respect and deal with people diplomatically.

Experience experience experience... I have come to observe that experience is the key to success and promotion in any organisation... I believe that in every and any field of work, patience and perseverance strike most importantly in the process of gaining valuable experience, both on the field and in the office, Mining Engineers are no exception.

If you’re looking to negotiate a salary increase or promotion, start by acting the part. Promotions and raises generally are backwards-looking. What that means is that you’re likely to get a raise for work that you’ve done or are doing ALREADY. If you’re planning on talking to your supervisor about a salary increase or promotion, it can be helpful to track your accomplishments.

don't be too good at what you are currently doing if you are not intended to do that for the rest of your life, learn to work in a team

When negotiating for increased compensation in the workplace, it's beneficial to align your personal interests with those of the group or company. A well-run business makes decisions based on what's advantageous for the organization as a whole. By demonstrating that your motivations include the company's interests, you help to break down perceived barriers in the negotiation process. This approach can steer discussions towards a more productive and mutually beneficial outcome.
