At Mount Polley, we look for individuals to join our workforce who display a variety of skills and training levels.
We have a training department that will train workers from other industries.
Our key goal is to source workers locally. The furthest away workers are usually recruited from is Quesnel or Williams Lake. Several of Mount Polley’s staff are from Big Lake, Horsefly, and Likely, and live near the mine.
