The Field Robotics Technician will work closely with the Field Team Leads, the Director of Field Services and other team members to perform field work using HELIX robots.  This typically involves travel to mine sites in Canada, USA and likely other countries for several days or weeks (in shifts). The Field Robotics Technician is responsible for assisting in the safe deployment and field operations of Copperstone HELIX robots. Copperstone will train the Robotics Technician in safe robot operation procedures; however, a successful candidate will possess strong aptitudes to excel under unpredictable field conditions while collecting samples or data and positively representing Copperstone to our clients.  Field work may involve extreme weather and site conditions found across North America.

The Field Robotics Technician needs to be a motivated, enthusiastic team member with a commitment to quality, and success as a team. The ideal candidate is an effective team worker, who listens well, respects diversity of opinions and has an open, clear and succinct communication style. The candidate will gain in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience with the HELIX robotic platform, provide support for deployment and recognize, define and improve upon operational procedures.  The candidate should be excited to push robots to their limits in the field.
