Sunhills Mining

Sunhills mining has a very good work environment. I really enjoy working with the others on my crew and have enjoyed all that I have learned throughout the time I have spent working at Sunhills. My typical day at the mine is hauling coal from one or more of the pits to the plant, moving equipment, and sometimes training others. I have learned how to maneuver large equipment into a small area safely and efficiently, how to spot hazards and how to do proper pre and post trips on my equipment. The hardest part of my job is moving the electric shovels due to heavy cables and rough ground. The most enjoyable part is working with a good crew.

Well, it sometimes is not an easy place to be at.  There are quite a few people there and so it has four different crews.  A lot of the foremen have some serious power trip issues.  If you get a good crew that you get along with, that certainly helps you get through your tour.  However, the management has taken quite the plunge and the people who work there no longer mean anything more than a number.  You can still make good money and have great benefits, which is nothing to complain about.  But it's important to understand that they're "idea of safety"  or "production" has continued to decline.  Also, they're probably going to shut down and turn it into a natural gas plant, meaning that they don't need their employees anymore.

To complain, this is probably the best job I ever had. Any days I wish that my circumstances weren't involved the way they were and that's you know I tried to get ahold of my employer with a very weak Union that didn't even stand up. I have really good coworkers some I kept in touch now that the mind is closed good I wish I could work back in the coal handling plant.

Middle management is not great on d crew anyways seek elsewhere for a career sunhills is now a sinking ship.great co workers could not meet better people its definitely like a family.

Very good place to work . Life balance is extremely decent with a Four on Four off rotation. Learnt many new skills and met lots of new people who were willing to teach, people new to the coal mining industry the tricks of the trade,not going to lie going to miss the work there and the people.

It is a coal mine, with ups and downs daily but overall a good place to work. Safety is a core value as it should be everywhere. There are things to lean daily and not shortage of programs to attend to help everyone be a safe, productive part of the company.

overall a good place too work. although there are no incentives to encourage individuals to work with positive attitudes and be productive, there are some workers and operators that take personal pride in what they do and how they perform their jobs.

it was fun while it lasted, ran out of coal so we had tp put the shovels, trucks and the rest of the equipment on eBay to pay the bills. I still get headaches thinking about the place

could be a great place to work good safety good employees  the bad part is the government wants to shut it down the ugly part is they are getting paid to shut it down

very structured working environment. Decent schedule, training hours are well accounted for, good staff, excellent opportunity to learn and develop skills on a variety of different pieces of equipment.
