We invite you to be part of our evolution.
Our Team
Our Newfoundland and Labrador Operations are an integrated mining, milling, and processing operation. Nickel concentrate from the fly-in, fly-out Voisey's Bay operation is shipped to our state-of-art Long Harbour Processing Plant where it is refined into low-carbon and high-purity nickel rounds, cobalt rounds and copper cathodes.
The Integrated Planning team supports all Site Operations and asset repair requirements to maintain a safe and productive operation. Direct engagement with various departments allows the team to efficiently plan and organize required work scopes for all aspects of installations, repairs, and modifications to site assets.
The Opportunity
Vale recognizes the Impacts and Benefits Agreements with the Innu Nation and the Nunatsiavut Government in which Innu and Inuit workers have first preference for employment at the Voisey's Bay Mine Site.
