  • Hire, develop, and manage hourly mine-site employees in coordination with the Project Manager
  • Prepare and process production changes, field adjustments, or scope modifications with client representatives as needed
  • Lead planning meetings with Maintenance and Operations teams to ensure equipment readiness, fleet availability, and operational continuity

Qualifications:
  • 5-10 years of supervisory experience in mining operations or large-scale earthworks, preferably in an active mine environment
  • Proven ability to manage production schedules and adjust plans based on changing ground, weather, or equipment conditions
  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to develop practical, safe solutions to complex operational challenges
  • Highly effective communicator who can tailor messaging to operators, engineers, clients, and leadership teams
  • Collaborative leader who builds teamwork, accountability, and a positive safety culture
  • Willingness to travel and remain on site for the duration of mine projects

  • Able to meet the physical requirements of the position, including sitting, standing, bending, climbing, lifting (up to 75 pounds), and working in all weather conditions (rain, snow, heat, extreme cold)
