About this role

<p><span style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;color:black;font-size:12.0pt"><strong>Workplace Type: <strong>Onsite</strong> </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Newmont produces metals the world needs - safely, responsibly and with care for people, communities and the environment. With a 100+ year history, we continue to shape the future of mining through innovation and strong operational performance. By joining our inclusive, world-class team, you can help shape the future of mining and make a meaningful difference.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;color:black"><span>Red Chris is an open-pit copper-gold mine in the famous Golden Triangle of northern British Columbia, situated on the traditional territory of the Tahltan Nation. As a fly-in, fly-out operation, Red Chris is reached via charter flights from multiple locations in BC and Alberta, with teams working on a rotational schedule. Currently an active open-pit producer, Red Chris is poised for an exciting transformation – we are developing a high-value underground block cave that will extend the mine’s life for decades and unlock even more resources. The remote location fosters a close-knit “camp” community where safety and teamwork come first. Working at Red Chris offers an adventurous career at the frontier of mining innovation, with the opportunity to shape a major expansion while enjoying the natural beauty of northern Canada. Our team values strong partnerships with local First Nations and is committed to operating in a safe, inclusive and environmentally responsible way.</span></span></p> <div><div style='padding: 10px 0px;border: 1px solid transparent;'><div style='font-size:14px;word-wrap: break-word;'><H5 style='font-size: 1em; margin: 0px'>About the project</H5>&#13;</div><div><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Red Chris is a gold and copper mine located in the Tahltan Territory, northern British Columbia.
