Full job description

Honister Slate Mine is seeking a Trainee Shotfirer to join our production mining team. This is a rare opportunity to develop specialist drilling and blasting skills within England’s last working slate mine.

No previous shotfiring experience is required. Full structured, hands-on training will be provided to support your progression toward becoming a qualified Shotfirer working within an active underground slate operation.

Company Overview

Honister Slate Mine produces the world-renowned Westmorland Green Slate, formed over 450 million years ago and used in roofing, architectural stone, and heritage construction projects across the UK and internationally.

Our operation combines traditional slate extraction methods with modern mining practices, maintaining high standards of safety, quality, and environmental responsibility while preserving skilled stone production within the Lake District.

Your Work Environment

You will work within an operational underground slate mine and surface production areas, supporting extraction, mining, and stone production activities.

The role involves:

Underground mining work
Outdoor working in varied weather conditions

Assist with drilling and blasting operations underground
Prepare and secure blast areas
Conduct face inspections and measurements prior to blasting
Support preparation of blast designs and charging plans
Charge shots safely under supervision
Participate in blast initiation procedures
Carry out post-blast inspections and reporting
Maintain accurate blasting and safety documentation
Support slate extraction and block recovery operations
Assist with maintenance of mining plant and equipment, including excavators
Contribute to ongoing safety and compliance procedures
Support wider mine production activities as required

All work is carried out in accordance with UK legislation and mining safety regulations.

Who We’re Looking For

We are seeking an individual who:

Wants to build a long-term career in mining, quarrying, or stone production
Enjoys practical, hands-on work in a demanding environment
Demonstrates strong safety awareness and attention to detail
Works effectively as part of a close-knit operational team
Is motivated to learn specialist technical skills

Essential Requirements

Full, valid UK driving licence
Willingness to work underground and outdoors year-round
Strong commitment to safe working practices

Desirable Skills

Basic mechanical or plant knowledge
Experience with heavy machinery or construction equipment
Previous mining, quarrying, or construction experience (advantageous but not essential)
Commercial driving licence preferred
Good communication and teamwork skills

What’s in It for You?

Competitive salary with clear progression pathway
Structured Shotfirer training and certification
21 days annual leave plus public holidays
Ongoing personal and professional development
Opportunity to work within a historic British stone production operation
Supportive team culture built around safety and craftsmanship
