Pioneer Mining Company is a newly formed precious metals mining company. We have secured ownership (not a lease) on one of the largest patented gold deposits in western Alaska. The current team (geologists, geoscientists, engineers, operators, and mining executives) have a combined 75 years in the placer mining industry. We are looking for one more heavy equipment mechanic to join us on an adventure/job. We are based out of Anchorage, Alaska and mine in the summer months (ability to earn a years salary in ~4months). These gold claims are in interior Alaska and are REMOTE, with chartered fly in access the only means of access. Previous to our ownership the claims have been operated by a family run operation for over 28 years. PMC intends to expand the operation to a small commercial mining company in the years to come. You would be joining the team on the ground level and have opportunities not afforded to other typically mechanic positions.

There is too much to explain here, but these are some of the specifics related to this job. Please contact Peter, our owner and mine manager for details:

• Relocation expenses paid for from anywhere in Alaska, lower 48, or Canada (possibly further).
• You would be based out of Anchorage where we have a house in town as "home base". From Anchorage we fly on private charters to the mine site 200miles SW over Denali National Park.
• Must be a team player and able to assist in camp operations.
• As our lead mechanic, you will be supplemented by the rest of the small engine mechanics. We have hoists, lifts, welding equipment, tools, air compressors, presses (for CAT equipment mostly), and most anything you could possibly need already at the camps shop.
• You would be responsible for repairs, general maintenance will be done by each operator and other mine personnel (ie...they will change their equipments oil, check all other fluids, grease them, and clean them).
• Maintain stock lists; you will need to maintain a stock list (one has already been started) of all maintenance and service parts for all the equipment. As stock runs low the mine manager will need your list to make a restock order. We are in remote Alaska so great care needs to be paid to making sure we have extras of many parts on hand. Being someone who can look at a piece of equipment and understand what possible failures could occur and ordering stock of those items will be the difference between doing your job and actually helping the mine be successful for the season.
• Housing (Cabin to yourself), food (you can create your own grocery needs list), fresh mountain spring water, are all provided.
• Camp has a wash house with mens and womens showers, bathrooms, hot water, washer dryers, towels, blankets, toiletries, anything you could possibly need.
• We have 2 forms of internet service (both are satelite) Hughs net and newly purchased Starlink internet. No cell service.
• You will be provided with your own truck. If you have your own mechanic truck it can be barged in up the river with other heavy equipment this spring.
• Pictures of camp provided to qualified applicants so you can get a lay of the land. This mine/camp is drop dead gorgeous! As long as you enjoy the being out in the mountains with moose, bears, wolves, Linx, beavers, and bald eagles (and a few mosquito's! all cabins are sealed tight and have windows with screens) you will enjoy waking up for work out here.
