Choose the Safe Way, Always
This is a physically demanding and safety-sensitive role involving heavy equipment and a variety of customer and mine-site environments. The successful candidate must bring a safety-first mindset to every job, following established procedures, recognizing potential hazards, and choosing the safe way, always. You must be comfortable lifting and carrying up to 50 lbs. unassisted, working in restricted or confined spaces such as engine compartments, working at heights on large equipment using ladders and walkways, driving and sitting for extended periods, and frequently walking on uneven terrain. Good hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity are also important for safely completing installations and service work.
