Field Technician - Mining Technology

About Us

Mining operations deal in massive scale operational problems. They ‘lift and shift’ millions of tonnes of material and consume hundreds of millions of dollars per year in operating expenses. A 1% improvement across load and haul fleets can add literally millions to their bottom line. We are delivering these improvements to our clients across Africa and Australia.

MaxMine is an automated business improvement product which performs advanced analytics and data science on operational data from mobile mining equipment to deliver significant cost savings and productivity gains to global miners. We apply engineering science and mathematics to operational data that we collect with our hardware. We store and analyse this data via our cloud platform and deliver results straight into client’s operations.

Our approach is the future of Professional Consulting Services, and everything that we do, and how we do it reflects this. We are a value focused tech company, which happens to work across Operational and Engineering domains in the Mining Services industry. With a growing client base and rapid expansion of services, analytics and operations we have a range of interesting projects which will have an impact.
