We provide 24/7 support for our clients, servicing both surface and underground operations across Canada.

Duties and Responsibilities:
  • Inspect, troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair underground mining equipment, including bolters, scoops, jumbos, hydraulic drills , and other heavy machinery.

  • Conduct preventative maintenance and ensure the reliability of underground equipment in challenging environments.
  • Test repaired equipment to verify functionality and recommend improvements to optimize performance and reliability.
Requirements:
  • Minimum of 3 years of recent experience working as a heavy-duty mechanic, preferably in underground mining or resource industries.
  • Familiarity with underground equipment, such as bolters, scoops, jumbos, and hydraulic drills, is required.
  • Must have a minimum of 3 years of experience working with Maclean Bolters, as these will be the primary equipment you will be working on. 
  • Experience with key equipment brands such as Sandvik, Liebherr, Epiroc, CAT, and Komatsu will be considered an asset.
  • Journeyman Heavy Duty Off-Road Technician certification is required.
  • Red Seal Certification is mandatory.
  • Proficiency in diagnosing and troubleshooting mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems.
  • Commitment to working safely in confined spaces and underground conditions.
Additional Requirements:

  • Must pass a Criminal Record check
  • Ability to pass an 8-panel drug test (including marijuana) and alcohol breath test
  • Physical fitness to lift 50 lbs comfortably
  • Full-time employee roles only (sub-contractor roles are not available)
Preferred Candidates Have:
  • Experience maintaining and repairing underground equipment in mining operations.
  • Familiarity with underground safety procedures and confined space protocols.
  • Knowledge of surface equipment is an asset, but this role is specific to underground operations.
