Roles for colonists? Who does what?

I feel like a doof on this, but I'm getting confused on what specialty works at which facility. I'm fine with the medic, but are engineers the only ones good at mines? And especially, who is the best worker for things like the polymer factory. Is there a list in the game?

Engineers are for factories; Geologists are for mines.

FYI, there's already a wiki set up for the game that's very helpful for getting quick answers to stuff like this.

It's also in game, choose the building and it will tell you who work there best.

Thanks for the answers, I'm a little punch drunk from playing for too long
