02 · WhatWhat do you actually do?
Three things, on one project or across several.
Start it
Plan, mobilize, build the site, line up contractors, prove the first cycles, hand over.
Run it
Stay on after handover and operate: crews, equipment, the day-to-day.
Crew it
Hand-picked haul truck, excavator, shovel, dozer and grader operators.
03 · WhereWhere do you work?
Alberta, British Columbia and Yukon. We're based in Northern Alberta and work mine sites, quarries and remote projects across all three, with crews that run camp and rotation work. When the job is further away, we go there too.
Alberta
Home base. Mine start-ups, site works and operators from Northern Alberta.
British Columbia
Mine sites and remote projects across the province.
Yukon
Northern and fly-in sites, on rotation.
The earthmoving we do: access and haul roads, pads and berms, stripping and overburden, trenching, loading and hauling, with haul truck, excavator, shovel, dozer and grader operators.
04 · WhyWhy call you and not someone else?
One call, one accountable team. The plan, the people and the contractors run through us, so nothing falls between companies.
No sales layer, no nonsense. We've spent decades in the trenches, and we understand your operation's needs because they used to be ours.
Crews you can trust on day one. Every operator is hand-picked, with tickets and licence checked before they mobilize.
Records from the first shift. Hours, field tickets and safety records go into Pit & Rig's own software from day one.
We go where the work is. Alberta, British Columbia and Yukon today, with a worldwide network of mining contacts behind us.
