Live vacancies

Copper

Copper covers large open pit porphyry mines, block cave underground operations and concentrator or SXEW processing. Demand is structural rather than seasonal, and the biggest hiring centres are Chile, Peru, Zambia and the DRC.

Senior & Principal

Senior and principal titles usually mean technical depth and standard setting rather than people leadership, which sits under superintendent and manager titles.

North America

North American operations lean underground and residential, with strong safety regulation and a large contractor and shutdown market.
