About the role

  • First to market is the only acceptable outcome.
  • The system is defined as much by how it operates as how it is built.
  • Mechanics, sensing, and software converge at the drill pad, where performance is proven under real conditions and refined through rapid iteration.

Responsibilities

  • Lead end-to-end field execution on a novel diamond drilling platform, establishing reliable operating procedures under real-world conditions
  • Build and maintain structured reporting and a metrics-driven framework capturing activity, safety, productivity, and equipment reliability, converting data into clear actions that improve outcomes
  • Maintain operational visibility across 24/7 drilling activities, including time-sensitive communication outside standard hours when field conditions, safety matters, client needs, or equipment issues require immediate attention
  • Deep, hands-on expertise in drilling operations with a proven ability to operate, troubleshoot, and optimize in the field
  • Durin is building the technology stack that finds America's next 100 mines.
  • We design, build, and operate purpose-built autonomous drilling rigs, not retrofits, because diamond drilling automation hasn't been done before, and retrofits won't get us there.
  • We're seeking our first Drilling Operations Manager who will lead field operations and help us stand up a world-class drilling services program.

Requirements

  • Demonstrated track record of leading crews in demanding environments with clear authority, accountability, and results
  • Strong safety leader with embedded knowledge of field risk management, compliance systems, and incident prevention practices
  • Disciplined with strong reporting habits and the ability to structure, analyze, and communicate operational data and performance trends
  • Proven ability to apply first-principles thinking to adapt and solve unfamiliar problems
  • If you see something unsafe, you have the obligation to stop the operation, no matter who is watching.
