Job Description

The Boring Company was founded to solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic by creating an underground network of tunnels. Today, we are creating the technology to increase tunneling speed and decrease costs by a factor of 10 or more with the ultimate goal of making Hyperloop adoption viable and enabling rapid transit across densely populated regions.
We’re seeking skilled Tunnel Laborers to operate inside the belly of the beast - supporting daily production on a Main Beam Tunnel Boring Machine cutting through hard rock. This role is boots-on-ground and central to keeping the TBM advancing. You’ll work in close coordination with mechanics, electricians, and operators to support mucking, ground support, conveyor systems, and general tunnel operations.
Responsibilities:

• Support tunneling operations from the cutterhead to the backup, including muck handling, ventilation, utilities, and conveyor systems
• Load, unload, and handle ground support materials such as rock bolts, mesh, and shotcrete
• Operate equipment such as locomotives, forklifts, telehandlers, and jacklegs in the tunnel environment
• Inspect and maintain safety of the work area, report ground conditions, and install ground control as required
• Assist with TBM launches, ring rebuilds, tail shield cleaning, and other production-critical tasks
• Perform shift handovers, communicate clearly with crew members, and follow all safety protocols underground

Qualifications:

• 2+ years of experience in underground mining, tunneling, or heavy civil construction
• Prior work with Main Beam TBMs or similar hard rock mining operations preferred
• Strong understanding of underground safety procedures and confined space work
• Physically fit and comfortable working in rugged, noisy, and low-light environments
• Willingness to work rotating shifts and overtime as needed to support tunneling progress

CultureWe're a team of dedicated, smart, and scrappy people. Our employees are passionate about our mission and determined to innovate at every opportunity.
Benefits We offer employer-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) plan, paid holidays, paid vacation, and a competitive amount of equity for all permanent employees.
