You'll use your engineering expertise to identify and resolve recurring issues, implement preventative strategies, and manage projects that enhance our operational efficiency and reduce downtime.

Responsibilities:

• Equipment Reliability & Optimization:

• Analyze equipment repair and improvement needs, pinpointing solutions to recurring issues to prevent future breakdowns and production downtime.

• Develop and implement efficient equipment strategies by gathering and analyzing data on maintenance activities and processes.

• Continuously seek opportunities with operations to improve existing equipment systems based on reliability analysis.

• Project Management & Execution:

• Develop comprehensive expense and capital projects, including defining scope, evaluating alternatives, generating estimates, preparing project papers, and managing budgets.

• Execute projects from start to finish, which involves selecting and overseeing contractors, writing RFQs, awarding bids, and inspecting/approving work.

• Supervise contractors, ensuring compliance with all Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) regulations.

• Engineering Analysis & Design:

• Analyze product and equipment specifications to ensure designs are compatible with existing manufacturing capabilities.

• Evaluate engineering proposals and technical data related to industrial machinery and equipment design.

• Determine the feasibility of new or modified plant equipment, considering costs, space, timelines, and other technical and economic factors.

• Utilize computer-assisted engineering and design software for plant equipment, facilities, and production methods.

• Compile and analyze operational, test, and research data to establish performance standards for new or modified equipment.

• Technical Support & Program Development:

• Provide technical insights on manufacturing techniques, material properties, and process advantages/limitations that impact long-term plant and product planning.

• Assist in the design and implementation of Electrical/Mechanical Preventive Maintenance (PM) and Predictive Maintenance (PdM) programs.

• Stay current with industry technical changes and developments through continuous learning.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, or Industrial).

• 3-5 years of engineering experience, with a strong preference for experience in Maintenance Reliability and High Voltage Electrical systems.

• Reliability Certification and Manufacturing experience are preferred.

• Familiarity with CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management Systems) is preferred.

• Knowledge of federal mining laws (MSHA) and mining methods, including the use and operation of related equipment, is a plus.

• Experience with the installation, basic maintenance, or operation of mine ventilation, materials processing/handling systems, and/or mine shaft maintenance is beneficial.

• Work Ethic & Environment:

• Ability to work a flexible schedule, including both first and partial third shifts (approximately 55 hours per week).

• Must be able to climb ladders, steps, crawl, and bend regularly.

• Capable of lifting and carrying up to 50 pounds regularly.

• Committed to working safely in varying temperatures year-round while wearing proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including steel-toe shoes and safety glasses.
