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.
• Clean around crushers, conveyors, screens, and other plant equipment to prevent material buildup.

• 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.
• Perform other production and quarry duties as assigned.

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.

If you're dependable, willing to work, and interested in building experience in the mining and heavy equipment industry, we encourage you to apply.

Requirements

What We're Looking For

• Dependable attendance and a strong work ethic.
