This is a great opportunity for someone who is dependable, safety-minded, comfortable with physical outdoor work, and interested in learning more about mining, quarry operations, rock crushing, and heavy equipment.

What You'll Do

• Perform general quarry labor including shoveling, raking, cleanup, and material handling.

• Follow all Rock Pros USA safety procedures, site requirements, and MSHA regulations.
• Participate in required safety meetings and training.
• Learn quarry operations and equipment as training opportunities become available.

Opportunity to Learn

Ground Engineers are an important part of our quarry crew. This position provides an opportunity to learn how a surface mining and rock crushing operation works and develop additional skills through training and hands‑on experience.
