ISR uranium mining operator scaling production across Wyoming facilities
Ur-Energy operates two in-situ recovery (ISR) uranium facilities in Wyoming and is actively building out industrial control infrastructure. The tech stack—Allen-Bradley, Siemens PCS 7, TIA Portal, Ignition, OSIsoft PI—reflects a mid-market manufacturing operation modernizing its automation layer. Hiring velocity is accelerating with 9 roles posted in the last 30 days, heavily weighted toward operations and junior engineers, suggesting active ramp-up at the Shirley Basin facility now in construction phase.
Ur-Energy is a publicly traded U.S. uranium producer focused on in-situ recovery mining in Wyoming. The company operates Lost Creek, an ISR facility producing uranium oxide since 2013 with licensed capacity of 2.2 million pounds annually. Shirley Basin, Ur-Energy's second ISR project in Carbon County, is fully licensed and permitted with construction nearing completion, positioning it as the fifth ISR operation in the United States. The company maintains offices in Casper and Littleton, Colorado, with registered operations in Ontario. Current active projects center on Siemens automation deployment, Ignition SCADA implementation, and OSIsoft PI historian integration across both facilities.
