This position involves a combination of Feed Loader, Stockpile Loader, Shipping Loader, and Mining Loader responsibilities. Assignments may vary based on daily production needs.

Key Responsibilities

• Feed Loader: Safely feed rock and material into crushers, hoppers, and processing equipment while maintaining consistent production flow.
• Stockpile Loader: Build, maintain, organize, and manage material stockpiles while preventing contamination and maintaining safe operating conditions.
• Shipping Loader: Load customer and company trucks accurately and efficiently, verify material types, and communicate with drivers and shipping personnel.

• Support daily production goals while maintaining quality and safety standards.
• Assist with general quarry operations, housekeeping, and plant maintenance as needed.

This Is a Hands-On Position

At Rock Pros USA, operators are part of the entire quarry crew. This is not a stay-in-the-cab position.

All operators must be willing to get out of their equipment and help with tasks such as shoveling, clearing material buildup, assisting with crusher or screen maintenance, and supporting other plant operations when needed.

We value employees who take ownership of their work, support their teammates, and do what it takes to keep the operation running safely.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience operating large wheel loaders or front-end loaders in a quarry, mine, aggregate, or similar heavy industrial environment.
• Ability to safely load trucks, manage stockpiles, and handle material around crushing and screening equipment.
• Strong understanding of equipment inspections, safe operating practices, and basic maintenance.
• Ability to recognize equipment problems and communicate maintenance needs.
• Dependable attendance, good communication, and a team-oriented attitude.
• Willingness to perform physical labor and assist with duties outside equipment operation.
• Ability to work outdoors in Arizona weather, around dust, noise, uneven terrain, and moving heavy equipment.
• Ability to follow company safety procedures and complete required MSHA training.

Experience with multiple types of heavy equipment, basic mechanical repairs, and training other operators is a plus.
