  • 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.

  • 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.
