Maintenance & Construction Technician
About The Position
Iron Horse is building a new bulk material transload facility in Winnemucca, Nevada, and we're looking for a hands-on Maintenance & Construction Technician to immediately assist with current construction demands as well as potentially support the long term operation and maintenance of the facility. This is a unique opportunity for someone who likes to build things, fix things, operate equipment, and figure things out.

As the facility becomes operational, the role will transition into facility maintenance and/or facility operations, based on your skills and the needs of the operation. You don't need to know every trade. We need someone who is mechanically capable, resourceful, dependable, and willing to learn.
