When people picture mining, they often imagine haul trucks rumbling across sites or operators behind the wheel of heavy equipment. Those jobs are important, but they’re not the only part of the story. Mining is powered by a wide mix of people and professions, all working together to make the industry safer, smarter, and more sustainable.

At Tacora, health, safety, and environmental teams play a central role. They monitor air quality, oversee tailings safety, and ensure every worker is properly trained and supported. Their work connects directly with our environmental specialists, who lead reclamation and re-vegetation projects so the land around the mine can return to healthy ecosystems for the future.

Innovation is another driving force. Engineers and technicians are behind upgrades like the Manganese Reduction Circuits at the Scully Mine; improvements that raise iron ore quality while creating new opportunities for skilled technical roles. Just as important are the people focused on community and Indigenous engagement, making sure the benefits of those advancements are shared locally through hiring, procurement, and partnerships.

And while that work is happening on the ground, a wide network of support teams keeps everything moving. Logistics staff coordinate shipments, IT specialists manage the complex systems that connect our operations, HR helps guide workforce development, and compliance professionals ensure standards are met at every step.

Mining is more than machinery – it’s a collaboration of people with diverse skills and perspectives. At Tacora, we’re proud to show that a career in mining can mean anything from restoring landscapes, to designing new technologies, to building relationships in the community. Together, these roles shape not only the future of our company, but also the future of the industry in Newfoundland and Labrador.
