As a Production Miner you will sit in the cab of the machines that move earth, ore, and overburden every shift. Your work directly determines whether our clients hit their tons-per-hour targets and whether every teammate goes home unhurt. This is high-impact, hands-on mining with a company that puts people first.

Performance Objectives

• Operate excavators, haul trucks, loaders, and drills to meet or exceed daily production quotas while keeping equipment utilization above 90 percent.
• Execute drilling, blasting, loading, and hauling sequences that consistently deliver target material volumes with minimal re-handle.
• Complete pre- and post-shift inspections and report defects immediately so that unplanned downtime stays below 5 percent.
• Follow every MSHA and site-specific safety protocol so the crew records zero recordable incidents.
• Partner with supervisors and maintenance to identify process improvements that raise tons moved per hour or reduce fuel burn.
• Support reclamation and overburden placement that keeps the pit in compliance and ready for the next phase of mining.

• Current MSHA Part 46 or 48 certification and a clean safety record.
• Track record of hitting daily production numbers while protecting people and machines.
