ICL Boulby Mine – North Yorkshire Coast
Located on the North Yorkshire coastline, Boulby Mine is one of the deepest mines in Europe and part of a world-leading organization supplying essential minerals to global agriculture and industry and is currently the world’s only operational polyhalite mine.
Working here is not comparable to standard industrial maintenance. As an Underground Electrician, you’ll operate in a highly specialized environment beneath the surface, working on complex systems that offer far greater technical challenge and variety than typical plant-based roles.
This is an opportunity to develop skills and experience that are genuinely hard to find elsewhere.
The Role
As part of the underground electrical team, you will play a key role in maintaining and improving critical mining equipment that keeps the operation running safely and efficiently.
Your work will involve inspecting, fault-finding and repairing a wide range of underground systems, including face-line machinery, conveyors, and switchgear, alongside maintaining communication and lighting infrastructure. You will balance planned maintenance with reactive breakdown response, ensuring downtime is minimized and performance is maintained.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will work within permit systems, carry out electrical isolations, and ensure full compliance with statutory and site safety standards. You will also collaborate closely with production and engineering teams to diagnose issues, make sound decisions under pressure, and contribute to ongoing improvements in reliability and performance.
About You
You are a time-served Electrician with experience in heavy industrial, manufacturing, mining, or processing environments. You have a strong working knowledge of HV/LV systems (up to 11kV) and experience maintaining plant equipment such as conveyors, pumps, or similar heavy machinery.
You are confident fault-finding in operational environments and working under pressure, with a proactive and practical approach to problem-solving. Exposure to PLC or control systems would be beneficial, but not essential.
