What does a coal mac do?

A Coal Machine Operator's day often starts with a safety meeting before heading underground or to the mining site. Throughout the shift, you'll operate and monitor heavy machinery to extract and transport coal, troubleshoot minor mechanical issues, and keep accurate production records. You’ll collaborate closely with a team of fellow operators, mechanics, and supervisors to ensure efficient and safe operations. Physical demands and variable shifts, including nights and weekends, are common, and adaptability is important for keeping operations running smoothly.
