Job Recruitment at Newmont Mining Corporation
ROLE: Chief Mine Engineer
Newmont Mining Corporation is a global leader in gold production, with significant properties in Nevada, Peru, Australia, Ghana, and Suriname.
Newmont’s Africa Operations operates two gold mines in Ghana: the Ahafo Mine in the Brong-Ahafo area and the Akyem Mine in the Eastern region. Ghana is also focusing on near-mine exploration and development to replace gold reserves on an annual basis. In addition, Newmont Africa has early-stage exploration programs in Ethiopia and Morocco.
Our Africa activities employ roughly 5,900 people, the vast majority of whom work at the Ahafo Mine. We provide an unrivaled combination of opportunity and professional fulfillment, as well as all of the advantages you would expect from a multinational corporation. This, paired with our possibilities for advancement, makes Newmont a terrific place to work.
Our Akyem and Ahafo mines have made considerable long-term community development expenditures in their respective host communities. These include establishing Development Funds in our Akyem and Ahafo operations zones, with each mine contributing US$1 per ounce of gold sold and 1% of net pre-tax yearly profit to the fund.
Newmont, the sole gold business listed on the S&P 500 index, was the first gold company to be included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index in 2007. Our Africa operations’ high standards in environmental management, health and safety for our workforce, and providing value and opportunity for our employees, host communities, and Newmont’s shareholders reflect Newmont’s industry-leading performance.
