Careers in mining-more than you'd expect

Iron mining jobs in the past were known to be physical, difficult, and often dangerous careers to pursue. We respect and celebrate the valiant work our parents and grandparents performed to assure war efforts and the uses of steel of everyday people were met.

Today's highly technical careers in iron mining, while still demanding, require greater skills in problem-solving, math, science and computer application.
