Skills: Drilling Operations, Field Leadership, Safety Management, Operational Discipline, Performance Metrics
Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead end-to-end field execution and establish operating procedures for a novel autonomous diamond drilling platform. Serve as the primary bridge between field operations, clients, and internal technical leadership to drive system evolution.
Requires deep hands-on expertise in drilling operations and a proven track record of leading crews in demanding environments. Must be a strong safety leader capable of using data-driven metrics to optimize performance and solve complex problems.
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. First to market is the only acceptable outcome.
We're seeking our first Drilling Operations Manager who will lead field operations and help us stand up a world-class drilling services program.
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. Progress depends on tight feedback loops between field behavior and system evolution, driven by high-quality data and disciplined observation. This work sits within continuous operations where safety, reliability, and client expectations are non-negotiable. This role operates at that boundary, where clear signal from the field and consistent execution determine how quickly the platform advances.
This is the part of the job description most worth your time. If the way we work doesn't sound like the environment you want, this isn't the right role for you.
Mineral exploration technology company
Durin builds and operates automated drill rigs to accelerate mineral discovery. Our modern way of life, from smartphones to skyscrapers, starts as ore in the ground. But mines don't simply appear. In fact, the exploration process required to find valuable ore is incredibly long and expensive. This is done by drilling hundreds of surgical holes into the earth to recover cylindrical core samples. Mining is a trillion-dollar industry, but the drills used to explore haven't changed in nearly 100 years. Mines are becoming harder to find, which is a danger to the future of civilization. Our mission is to change that. The first step is mass production of automated drilling rigs to find more mines, faster. That is just the beginning. We've brought together a mission-driven team of builders, scientists, and engineers reinventing how humanity finds the minerals it needs to survive. Coming onboard means taking on some of the hardest challenges of your life. Join a tight, no‑nonsense team where you’ll attack real engineering problems, ship hardware to the field, and help secure the resources our future depends on. Learn more at learn.durin.com
