Your Role as Electrical Engineer (Mine Hoist)

Reporting to the Supervisor of Mine Hoist Electrical Engineering Services, you will join the specialized Mine Hoist Division of BESTECH, operating as Spencer Engineering-one of North America's most respected names in mine hoist engineering.

This is a unique opportunity for an Electrical Engineer who is looking to apply strong engineering fundamentals within a highly specialized field. Previous mine hoist experience is not required.
