About AMC’s MineSmarter Careers Programme

AMC has a long history of employing early-career technical staff to help further their career development—initially at AMC and then onwards at AMC or at a client’s mining operation. Since 1994, AMC has provided the opportunity for 60 young professionals to join our expert team for a variety of early-career roles and placement duration. This has allowed many of these young professionals to acquire the initial experience they needed to start a career in mining, which was particularly important during the recent contraction in the industry.

Today, they work for some of the largest names in the industry including: AngloGold Ashanti, BHP, Elysium Mining, Glencore, Gold Fields, MMG, Mt Isa Mines, Northern Star, Oceana Gold, Saracen Gold Mines, and St Barbara. They can be found at all levels from Graduate Engineer, Senior Engineer and Principal Engineer all the way to Superintendent, Mining Manager, and Operations Manager.
