Project Electrician

Mariana Minerals is a software-first, vertically integrated minerals company on a mission to supply the critical minerals powering modern energy, AI, and defense technologies. We’re reimagining the minerals supply chain by combining deep industry expertise with advanced software, automation, and data-driven decision-making.

As an Electrician on our new Moab project team (formerly Lisbon Mines), you'll handle wiring, instrumentation, and PLC work on new equipment and systems.

The ideal candidate thrives on variety and wants to be part of a growing company. The work varies week to week, from building panels and calibrating instruments to helping bring PLC systems online. As one of the first members of a new project team, you'll often own a job from start to finish and build new skills along the way.
