  • Experience supporting crusher feed operations and material flow management 
  • Ability to work around crushers, screens, conveyors, and aggregate processing equipment 
  • Ability to adapt between multiple machines based on production needs 
  • Experience training or mentoring other operators is a plus

Safety, Dust Control & Production
  • Maintain a strong commitment to MSHA and company safety standards 
  • Promote a zero-incident safety culture 
  • Maintain dust control awareness and compliance, including proper material handling and water/dust suppression practices 
  • Support production goals and operational efficiency 
  • Identify and communicate safety, environmental, or equipment concerns promptly
Communication & Teamwork
  • Communicate effectively using two-way radios with supervisors, operators, and maintenance staff 
  • Respond promptly to radio calls and production instructions 
  • Collaborate with team members to resolve operational challenges 
  • Maintain accurate equipment logs and maintenance documentation 
  • Willingness to assist with non-equipment operational tasks as needed
Technology Requirement
  • Must be comfortable using mobile devices and applications 
  • Required to maintain daily timesheet records using a mobile app system 
  • Basic digital literacy for time tracking and reporting is required 
Additional Requirements
