This role also requires strong awareness of dust control practices, including proper water application, material handling techniques, and maintaining safe visibility and environmental conditions throughout quarry operations. 


In addition to equipment operation, this role includes preventive maintenance, basic mechanical troubleshooting, safety leadership, and maintaining accurate digital timekeeping and reporting through a mobile app system.

We offer a competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package, which includes:

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance options with employer contribution

  • 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

  • Identify and troubleshoot minor mechanical issues 
  • Perform basic mechanical tasks such as: 
    • Bearing changes 
    • Belt splicing 
    • Shaft replacements 
  • Conduct daily equipment inspections and report findings 
  • Work closely with mechanics to minimize downtime 
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
