Procedure Steps 

• Heavy Equipment Operator (HEO/Harvest) 

• Resume and Questionnaire Required. 

• Schedules: 

• 2,2,3. 7-7. Rotate from day to grave every 28 days.  

• Rarely there are openings for straight days or graves. 

• Front-end loader experience. Experience with other large loaders 

may also work. Skidsteers/Bobcats do not qualify.   

• CAT 980, Komastu WA500, are perfect. If they’ve ran those for years, they can work here.  

• 5 years of experience.  

• This is needed because the pond floors are fragile and if they don’t have enough experience, they can easily damage them.  

• Are they comfortable working rotating days/graves every 28 days? 

• Are they okay with 12-hour shifts, 7-7? 

• Haul Drivers (Articulated Haul Trucks) 

• Resume and Questionnaire Required. 

• Schedules: 

• 2,2,3. 7-7. Rotate from day to grave every 28 days.  

• Rarely there are openings for straight days or graves. 

• Can they drive large trucks, such as dump trucks, water trucks, garbage trucks, or CDL trucks? 

• The biggest difference between a haul truck and a semi-truck is that the ride is extremely bumpy for the haul trucks, and they drive on unstable roads.  

• Salt Plant or Mag Plant Production/Forklift 

• No Resume Required. 

• Schedules: 

• Salt Plant: 

• First 2 weeks is M-F, then 2,2,3 after that. Does not rotate days/graves. 

• Weekends only ($2 more), Fri, Sat, Sun. They can pick up OT if wanted on Thurs or Mon, but they do not get the differential ($2 more) for those days.  

• Mag (Magnesium) Plant: 

• First 2 weeks is M-F, then 2,2,3 after that. Does not rotate days/graves. 

• 5-person crew. 

• Do they have production experience? 

• This position does packaging and warehousing. They will be required to learn forklift and get OSHA certified (Compass will certify them).  

• They do not need a drivers license, but keep in mind, they’ll need to get to work every day somehow, and the busses don’t come out here.  

• Heavy lifting can be required, up to 50lbs.  

• This position is 50/50 production/forklift.  

• Shipping Clerk (Clerical)  

• Resume Required.  

• This position checks in truckers at the entrance. Very similar to US Cold’s Clerk Position. 

• Spreadsheet knowledge is great.  

• Customer service is necessary. Must have thick skin.
