Field Operations Manager - Saudi Arabia

Who we are

Pronto AI is a global leader in commercializing autonomous vehicle (AV) technology, deploying Autonomous Haulage Systems (AHS) that automate operations in mines, quarries, and construction sites worldwide. While much of the industry remains in R&D, we deliver real, production-ready autonomy that is already operating in the field.

We are on a mission to make mining operations safer, smarter, and more efficient through cutting-edge technology, and we are building toward becoming the world’s first profitable AV technology company.

 

What you’ll do

The Field Operations Manager is responsible for leading the on-site deployment of Pronto’s autonomous haulage system at a mining operation in Saudi Arabia. This role serves as the bridge between Pronto’s technology teams and the customer’s mine operations, ensuring successful implementation and integration into daily production activities.

Project Delivery & Leadership

• Deliver deployment activities according to agreed performance metrics
• Ensure successful integration of autonomous systems into production workflows
• Monitor project progress and escalate technical or operational risks
• Manage on-site field engineers and technicians

Operational Integration

• Work with customers to set up or modify existing operational processes to accommodate autonomous haulage.
• Lead the customer training programs on Pronto technology and manage the formal handover of the system to the mine’s operations team.

•  Deep understanding of how to transition a mine from manual to technology-assisted or autonomous operations.
• A degree in Mining Engineering is highly preferred.
• Comfortable working full-time on-site in mining environments.
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills for reporting to executive-level stakeholders at both the customer and Pronto.
