Job description

Production Miner

Turner Mining Group is North America's trusted partner in contract miningdelivering safer, more productive operations that make life better for the industry. As a Production Miner you will sit in the cab of the machines that move earth, ore, and overburden every shift. Your work directly determines whether our clients hit their tons-per-hour targets and whether every teammate goes home unhurt. This is high-impact, hands-on mining with a company that puts people first.

Performance Objectives
  • Operate excavators, haul trucks, loaders, and drills to meet or exceed daily production quotas while keeping equipment utilization above 90 percent.
  • Execute drilling, blasting, loading, and hauling sequences that consistently deliver target material volumes with minimal re-handle.
  • Complete pre- and post-shift inspections and report defects immediately so that unplanned downtime stays below 5 percent.
  • Follow every MSHA and site-specific safety protocol so the crew records zero recordable incidents.
  • Partner with supervisors and maintenance to identify process improvements that raise tons moved per hour or reduce fuel burn.
  • Support reclamation and overburden placement that keeps the pit in compliance and ready for the next phase of mining.
Environment & Resources

You report to the Site Superintendent and work alongside a tight crew of operators, drillers, and mechanics. You will have modern heavy equipment, on-site maintenance support, and a safety budget that never gets cut. Sites are typically surface mines and quarries producing aggregates, limestone, specialty minerals, or metals.

Essential Qualifications
  • Proven ability to run large mining equipment (excavators 50-ton+, haul trucks, loaders) in a production environment.
  • Current MSHA Part 46 or 48 certification and a clean safety record.
  • Track record of hitting daily production numbers while protecting people and machines.
  • Willingness to work rotating shifts, weekends, and in all weather conditions typical of surface mining.
  • Mechanical aptitude to perform basic daily maintenance and communicate issues clearly.
Role Selling Points
  • People-first culture that treats operators as the most important asset on the property.
  • Opportunity to work across multiple commodities and sites as Turner grows nationwide.
  • Direct line of sight from your shift's tons to client success and company reputation.
  • Investment in newer equipment and safety technology that makes the job more productive and less punishing.

If you are ready to move more material, more safely, and be part of a team that is changing mining for the better, apply today.
