About The Position

We’re hiring a D11 Dozer Operator for a surface coal mining operation. If you know how to move earth, expose coal cleanly, and keep production safe and steady, you’ll fit right in. We want someone who takes pride in running big iron and understands the pace and demands of a working coal pit.

Requirements

  • Strong experience running large dozers — D10/D11 experience strongly preferred.
  • Prior experience in surface coal mining or large-scale earthmoving is a major plus.
  • Solid understanding of dozer work around highwalls, pit floors, spoil piles, and coal seams.
  • Able to work in all weather typical of mining operations.
  • MSHA certification (or willingness to obtain).
  • Reliable, safety-first attitude with strong communication and teamwork skills.

Responsibilities

  • Operate a CAT D11 for ripping, pushing, slot dozing, cast-back work, and maintaining active mining areas.
  • Support overburden removal, coal uncovering, and pit progression, working closely with truck, loader, and dragline/shovel crews.
  • Build and maintain coal benches, pit floors, haul roads, dump areas, and stockpiles to mine plan specs.
  • Push and shape coal piles, maintain blends, and keep coal clean from contamination.
  • Work safely around highwalls, spoils, active dragline/shovel pits, and heavy haul traffic.
  • Perform pre-shift inspections, note equipment issues, and keep the machine running clean and tight.
  • Stay alert to changing ground conditions, weather impacts, and safety hazards common in surface mining.
  • Communicate constantly with dispatch, supervisors, and the pit crew to keep cycles smooth and productive.
  • Follow all MSHA regulations, mine site safety rules, and environmental standards.
