Bulk Truck Driver/Blasting Crew Assistant

Working in the explosives industry is an exciting career; however, it is not for everybody. We are a hardy cut of people who prefer working outside, even in the heat, rain, cold, and snow. We work hard and take satisfaction in seeing what our hands have accomplished at the end of the day. We take our showers at night rather than in the morning. Watching a shot go off never gets old; even our most senior people live for it! We offer competitive starting wages, and, more importantly, provide career opportunities for those looking for more than a job. There is just something about working for Explosive Contractors Inc.---Once people join us, they stay!
