Skilled trades and operators

Roberto Torres, Environmental advisor at the MacKay River site.

Our operating sites have some of the biggest equipment in the world, and our highly skilled workforce of tradespeople and operators build, operate, and maintain our facilities.

We have opportunities for tradespeople, power engineers and heavy-equipment operators. Why? Because we do it all — mining, in-situ production, upgrading and refining.

Our teams operate and maintain the widest range of state-of-the-art equipment including hydraulic shovels, cable shovels, crawler tractors, loaders, haul trucks, graders, backhoes and more.
