- Partner with leadership on onboarding, investigations, and corrective actions
What You Bring

- Experience in mining or heavy industrial environments

- Strong mechanical and electrical aptitude
- Comfortable delivering training in both field and classroom settings
- Strong communication and ability to coach others effectively
- Proficient with Microsoft Office and basic systems/databases
