About Us:

Big Country Equipment is a BC-based heavy equipment service and repair company working with resource-based customers in the construction, forestry, mining, and oil and gas sectors throughout Western Canada. Since 2017, we’ve grown from a one-truck operation to a team of over 100 employees and a fleet of 30 fully equipped service trucks. We provide 24/7 support for our clients, servicing both surface and underground operations across Canada.

This position is focused specifically on underground mining operations, and we are looking for skilled mechanics to join our team. We want career-minded professionals who are motivated, safety-oriented, and able to work collaboratively with customers and coworkers.

Duties and Responsibilities:

Inspect, troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair underground mining equipment, including bolters, scoops, jumbos, hydraulic drills, and other heavy machinery.
Perform repairs on drivetrains, transmissions, and hydraulic systems, including replacing components and gears as needed.
Utilize computerized diagnostic tools and testing equipment to identify issues and maintain detailed service reports.
Complete scheduled and unscheduled work orders promptly while adhering to safety protocols.
Conduct preventative maintenance and ensure the reliability of underground equipment in challenging environments.
Test repaired equipment to verify functionality and recommend improvements to optimize performance and reliability.


Requirements:

Minimum of 3 years of recent experience working as a heavy-duty mechanic, preferably in underground mining or resource industries.
Familiarity with underground equipment, such as bolters, scoops, jumbos, and hydraulic drills, is required.
Must have a minimum of 3 years of experience working with Maclean Bolters, as these will be the primary equipment you will be working on.
Experience with key equipment brands such as Sandvik, Liebherr, Epiroc, CAT, and Komatsu will be considered an asset.
Journeyman Heavy Duty Off-Road Technician certification is required.
Red Seal Certification is mandatory.
Proficiency in diagnosing and troubleshooting mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems.
Commitment to working safely in confined spaces and underground conditions.


Additional Requirements:

Must be proficient in English (written and verbal)
Valid Class 5 Driver’s License with a clean 5-year abstract
Must pass a Criminal Record check
Ability to pass an 8-panel drug test (including marijuana) and an alcohol breath test
Physical fitness to lift 50 lbs comfortably
Full-time employee roles only (sub-contractor roles are not available)


Preferred Candidates Have:

Experience in maintaining and repairing underground equipment in mining operations.
Familiarity with underground safety procedures and confined space protocols.
Knowledge of surface equipment is an asset, but this role is specific to underground operations.
