You will contribute to a growing design system and freely develop your skills as a designer. Along with more senior designers, you’ll collaborate with business partners at all levels to further establish a human-centered design culture.
If you are an empathetic, driven, and creative UX designer who wants to produce practical solutions in a dynamic and team-oriented environment, this is a great opportunity to work side by side with some of the biggest innovators in the Mining technology industry.
