Join Our Resident Advisors and Residential Tutors Team

As a Residential Tutor (RT) or Resident Advisor (RA), you play a crucial role in our Residence Life team. If you become an RT, you'll provide tutoring, mentoring, and organize academic activities, supporting your peers' academic success. As an RA, your focus will be on fostering positive, healthy living communities where students can live, learn, and flourish.

Both RTs and RAs are integral to the Residence Life Office. RTs are accommodated in single rooms in Connolly, Palmerton, Peterson, or Placer Halls, whereas each living community benefits from the dedicated presence of an RA. Interested in these roles?

Summer Crew and Facilities Team Opportunities

Join us at South Dakota Mines for dynamic roles in our Summer Crew and Maintenance & Facilities Teams. Our Summer Crew consists of 8 dedicated staff members who are essential in maintaining and painting residence halls, assisting with Summer Conferencing, and managing the Surbeck Desk during evenings and weekends. This team plays a pivotal role in keeping our campus vibrant and functional during the summer months.

Additionally, we offer opportunities for those interested in facility maintenance during the academic year. As part of our Maintenance and Facilities Team, you can contribute in two key areas. Firstly, as a Student Custodial Staff member, you'll be responsible for the upkeep of the Rocker Square buildings, a crucial role for maintaining our living spaces. Secondly, as a Student Facilities Coordinator, you'll engage in hands-on work across all residential facilities, handling minor repairs, general maintenance, and managing residential work order requests, as well as undertaking general office tasks.

These roles are instrumental in ensuring a comfortable and well-maintained living environment for our students. Find out more about joining the team on theĀ Summer Crew, Maintenance, and Facilities Staff Page.
