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.

United States

US operations concentrate in copper in Arizona and gold in Nevada, with mostly residential rosters and a strong contractor market around shutdowns and projects.
