But the skill influences how long the job takes.

The wiki has a lot of info on labor assignments and skills:

Oh, I misread you then. I thought you were unsure about only the job time being affected.

the question was about skill in general, there was an earlier post about skills influencing quality, so I though to post about speed and the special circumstances of mining

edit: some constructions (wells, maybe others) use 'mason'/'carpenter'/'metalsmith' for their quality, also.

These don't really use the mason/carpenter/etc. skill for their quality level, instead the quality level is determined by the Architecture skill of the dwarf that designs it.

and of the components in the well

I wasn't altogether sure. I seem to recall sometimes getting an 'X has created a masterpiece' message when wells have been built, and on the wiki:

It requires a dwarf with the architecture labor designated to design, and then a mason/carpenter/metalsmith to finish the construction. Because it's designed, high-value materials can be multiplied by a high-quality effort on the part of either or both the steps involved, and can result in an extremely valuable piece of architecture for your fortress.

edit: if you go to the (R)ooms page and find your well (usually near the bottom, go up), and press Enter, you get this sort of info:

Hmmm.. Never noticed that. Guess I need to look at my wells more often.
