Caterpillar are expanding and have multiple opportunities for individuals seeking a new challenge in the mining industry.

The Caterpillar Autonomous Onboard Specialist is a mine site-based role where you can work hand in hand with our customers.

Our Onboard Specialists play a key role in ensuring the Command for Hauling equipment and system is working at its optimum performance, using your specialist knowledge and experience.
