Bulk Terminal Millwright – Coal Transshipment Operations

Role Overview

Keep Core Natural Resources’ terminal running at peak reliability. You will provide hands-on mechanical maintenance and, when needed, operate mobile equipment to move coal efficiently from rail to vessel. Your work directly supports safe, continuous operations across our bulk-handling systems.

A Day in the Life

You arrive to review the Safe Work Instruction Program and conduct a safety walkdown of your area. A conveyor fault is first on the list—you read prints and schematics, isolate the issue, and return the line to service. Later, you complete bearing work on a drive assembly, perform a motor alignment, and fabricate a small guard using oxy/acetylene and multi-position welding. When vessel loading ramps up, you step in to operate a forklift and JLG man-lift to support coal transshipment from rail to ship. Throughout the shift, you document findings, communicate clearly with operations, and ensure the terminal’s equipment is functioning properly.

What You’ll Tackle

• Deliver mechanical maintenance that maximizes terminal availability and reliability
• Operate mobile equipment (forklift, manual shift truck, JLG man-lift, crane truck) as needed to support rail-to-vessel transfers
• Read and interpret prints, schematics, manuals, and drawings for troubleshooting
• Perform welding with oxy/acetylene; execute multi-angle, multi-thickness welds
• Lay out work and fabricate components for minor equipment repairs and improvements
• Complete pre-job safety reviews and follow the Safe Work Instruction Program
• Cross-train and occasionally operate loaders, dozers, locomotives, and cranes
• Work independently and make sound decisions under varying conditions

What You Bring

• 3+ years of experience that includes machine maintenance
• Millwright-related experience (bearing replacement, motor alignment) preferred
• Proficiency with common hand tools; strong mechanical and fabrication skills
• Rigging knowledge and experience working around cranes and hoists
• Ability to stand for extended periods and perform physically demanding tasks
• Solid interpersonal and written communication skills; clear, concise documentation
• Basic math competency
• Comfort in confined spaces, at heights, and in extreme weather
• Willingness to work rotating shifts, weekends, and overtime

Proficiencies

• Heavy equipment repair
• Mechanical troubleshooting
• Troubleshooting industrial automation equipment
• Machine safety inspections
• Experience in a manufacturing or industrial environment

Tools & Technology

• Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) – basic diagnostics and interface use
• Conveyor systems – operation, inspection, and maintenance
