First-Line Fire Extinguisher Co. is looking for a mechanically-minded problem solver to join our team. We don’t just service office buildings; our technicians are vital to the mining industry. We protect the heavy equipment, the assets, and most importantly, the personnel working both above and underground.

If you have strong mechanical aptitude, love working with your hands, and enjoy hitting the road for multi-day trips instead of being stuck in the same shop every day, this is your next career. We will train you at our Madisonville facility to become an expert in mining fire suppression technology.

Company Vehicle Provided: We provide the truck and the tools.

Paid Specialized Training
:
We teach you everything you need to know about heavy-duty fire suppression and underground mining safety protocols.

The Environment: Swap the cubicle for active mine sites. You will work on massive, complex machinery in unique environments.

Great Benefits

The Installs & Repairs:
Install, maintain, and repair specialized fire suppression systems on heavy mining equipment (surface and underground).

The Travel:
Hit the road. You will travel to regional mining sites at least once a month for multi-day trips to perform inspections and preventative maintenance.

The Diagnostics:
Use your mechanical skills to troubleshoot system issues, replace faulty components, and test system functionality.

The Compliance:
Document your findings accurately to ensure our clients meet strict safety and regulatory standards.

The Client:
Act as the face of First-Line. Communicate effectively with mine operators to explain system operations and maintenance needs.

Mechanical Aptitude:
You know your way around hand tools, wrenches, and basic mechanics. (Prior experience as a lube tech, mechanic, or HVAC apprentice is a huge plus!)

The Grit:
You are comfortable working in challenging, dirty, and physically demanding environments—including underground mines.

The Flexibility:
Willingness to work 10-hour shifts, handle occasional nights/weekends, and take emergency on-call shifts as needed.

The Travel:
You must be able to travel out-of-town for a few days at a time, at least once a month.

The Basics:
You must be able to commute to (or relocate to) Madisonville, KY, and have a valid driver's license with a clean record for the company vehicle.
