At First Quantum, we free the talent of our people by taking a very different approach to mining. Working with us is not like working anywhere else, which is why we recruit people who will take a bolder, smarter approach to spot opportunities, solve problems and deliver results. Our culture emphasizes self-reliance and simple hard work, enabling us to make decisions quickly and encouraging innovation as we build and operate our assets to maximize their potential.
As a global copper company operating on five continents with approximately 14,500 employees, we are known for our specialist technical, engineering, construction and operational skills. We build and operate all our own projects and operations, which gives us a holistic view of mining and surfaces opportunities for innovation. Our lean structure and entrepreneurial culture ensures that decisions are made close to the action by the experts who know best and understand the nuance of their situation, without being slowed down by bureaucracy.
