Bulk Terminal Millwright - Coal Transshipment Operations
Job Description
Job Description 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
