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.
