Mining Engineer

**Who we are** Pronto AI is a global leader in commercializing autonomous vehicle (AV) technology, deploying Autonomous Haulage Systems (AHS) that automate operations in mines, quarries, and construction sites worldwide. While much of the industry remains in R&D, we deliver real, production-ready autonomy that is already operating in the field. We are on a mission to make mining operations safer, smarter, and more efficient through cutting-edge technology, and we are building toward becoming the world’s first profitable AV technology company. **What you’ll do** **Project Delivery & Management** - **Success Criteria:** Deliver projects to the agreed-upon performance metrics and success criteria, ensuring the autonomous system is integrated seamlessly into the mine’s production cycle. - **Team Leadership:** Manage the local field team, overseeing permitting, scheduling, safety compliance, and overall work performance. - **Customer Management:** Hold the customer accountable for their deliverables, including resource commitments, machine availability, and site/route/equipment readiness. **Strategic Liaison** - **Primary Point of Contact:** Act as the central communication hub between the customer site and Pronto HQ, providing regular progress reports and escalating technical or operational blockers. - **Process Integration:** Work with customers to set up or modify existing operational processes to accommodate autonomous haulage. - **Handover & Training:** Lead the customer training programs on Pronto technology and manage the formal handover of the system to the mine’s operations team. **What we’re looking for** **Experience & Education** - Mining Expertise: 15+ years of direct mining experience. You must be extremely comfortable and knowledgeable in a mine site environment, understanding the nuances of production and safety. - Leadership Tenure: 5–10 years in a leadership role (e.g., Site Superintendent, Maintenance Manager, or Fleet Manager). - Tech Rollout Experience: Proven track record of actively participating in technology rollouts, such as autonomy, remote operations, telematics, or machine control systems. - Education: A University Degree in Mining Engineering is highly preferred to establish immediate credibility with customer stakeholders. - Location: Must be based in AZ, CA, TX or WY. **Competencies** - Operational Authority: The ability to command respect on-site and influence customer decision-making to ensure site readiness. - Adaptability: Deep understanding of how to transition a mine from manual to technology-assisted or autonomous operations. - Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills for reporting to executive-level stakeholders at both the customer and Pronto. **Working Conditions & Schedule** **On-Site Deployment:** This is an on-site role. During deployments, you will stay regional to the customer in local accommodations or in customer-provided quarters. **Mining Schedule:** Working schedules are based on mining rotations (e.g., x weeks on, y weeks off) rather than a standard office week. **Current Project Commitment:** To complete the existing demo at Ma’aden, the successful candidate should expect to spend approximately 2 months remaining on-site. **Why join us** - Work on real, production-deployed autonomy. - Build technology that directly improves safety, efficiency, and productivity. - Tackle complex challenges in demanding, real-world environments. - Be part of a fast-moving team with high ownership and impact. - See your work deployed and making a difference in the field. - Collaborate closely with experienced engineers and industry operators. **What else you need to know** This is a field-based role supporting operations across the United States and international locations.
