We’re reimagining the minerals supply chain by combining deep industry expertise with advanced software, automation, and data-driven decision-making. We’re building modern mining and processing operations, and we’re looking for people who want to keep them running and grow with us. This is open to students who have finished a technical program or are about to, and to people with industrial or mechanical experience who are new to mining. Maintenance techs are the backbone of any mine site. It’s hands-on work with real equipment, new problems to solve every day, and skills that stay in demand across industries. Join early and you’ll learn from experienced techs, see how a modern operation comes together, and build a career with a company that’s just getting started. Program details are still coming together, but we’re connecting early with people who want to help build this team. **What You Could Learn** - Mechanical maintenance: pumps, conveyors, crushers, hydraulics, and heavy equipment - Electrical maintenance: motors, controls, VFDs, and instrumentation - Preventive maintenance and real-time troubleshooting across the mine and processing plant - Mine site safety, including MSHA training, lockout/tagout, arc flash (NFPA 70E), rigging, confined space, and working at heights **Who Should Apply** - Students in electrical, mechanical, or industrial maintenance programs, and recent trade school or technical program grads - Welders, fabricators, heavy equipment operators, drillers, or facilities techs with a stable work history who want to build maintenance skills - Experienced mechanics, electricians, or military-trained techs looking to move into mining - Comfortable with hand and power tools (experience helps but isn’t required for students) **What Makes You a Fit** - You never cut corners to save time. You follow procedures, speak up when something doesn’t look right, and look out for the people around you. - You see a job through, own your mistakes, and keep pushing until the problem is actually fixed, even when the work is dirty or tough, or the weather isn’t cooperating. - You’re curious about how things work and always looking for a simpler, better way to do the job. You want to understand the systems, not just follow the steps. - You ask questions, share what you learn, and jump in wherever your crew needs you. You know the best work gets done together. **Working Environment & Physical Requirements** This is a mine site, and safety comes first every day. - Outdoor and industrial work with dust, loud noise, and weather from summer heat to winter cold - Required PPE: hard hat, steel-toe boots, safety glasses, high-vis clothing, and hearing protection, plus respirators and fall protection when needed - Following site safety rules at all times - Lifting up to 50 lbs, climbing, working at heights, and entering confined spaces ### **Our culture is built on four principles:** **Everyone Gets Home Safe.** We never put speed or cost ahead of people. **Extreme Ownership.** We take full responsibility for outcomes, relentlessly driving toward solutions. **Engineer Out Requirements, then Automate.** We simplify, optimize, and then automate for scale. **Share Your Legos.** We collaborate openly, share knowledge, and empower each other to build bigger, better solutions. **Join us as we build the future of responsible mineral sourcing and supply!** ## Other open roles at Mariana Minerals - [Mobile Maintenance Supervisor](https://zerogtalent.com/frontier-jobs/mariana-minerals/mobile-maintenance-supervisor-053a699e-642c-4ebc-95ea-8630c69bc3b7) — Moab, UT - [Commercial Manager, Energy & Utilities](https://zerogtalent.com/frontier-jobs/mariana-minerals/commercial-manager-energy-utilities-0646e630-e634-44af-9d71-7eaae4bb75cb) — San Francisco HQ - [Procurement Manager, Mobile Equipment](https://zerogtalent.com/frontier-jobs/mariana-minerals/procurement-manager-mobile-equipment-177da57c-e591-4fba-92cd-ee5e7cdac125) — San Francisco HQ - [Construction & Commissioning Quality Engineer](https://zerogtalent.com/frontier-jobs/mariana-minerals/construction-commissioning-quality-engineer-425306c5-d092-4cab-9bc9-a6d565b55169) — Houston, TX - [Sr. Cost Control Engineer](https://zerogtalent.com/frontier-jobs/mariana-minerals/sr-cost-control-engineer-df7ffd54-19c9-4922-bc46-9efff39ed2a7) — Houston, TX --- *Source: [Zero G Talent](https://zerogtalent.com), the job board for space, defense, AI, robotics and frontier-tech companies.*
