Located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, between the Pacific Ocean and the Coast Mountains, Teck’s Corporate Office sits in one of Canada’s most culturally diverse cities.

Surrounded by world‑renowned nature and globally inspired cuisine, the office brings together many of Teck’s corporate functions - all working toward Teck’s purpose of providing the essential resources the world relies on.

The GRM team are a diverse group of multi-disciplinary Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) that uses the fundamental principles of geoscience to better understand Teck’s assets. The primary responsibility of the successful candidate will be to assess geochemical data and apply accepted Quality Controls (QC), thus helping ensure that these foundational datasets are fit for use. These foundational geochemical assay databases are the fundamental inputs which inform foundational geoscience datasets and ultimately resource and reserve calculations.

This role provides an excellent opportunity to improve skills in data analysis and data compilation, while gaining valuable insights into industry standard processes. The ideal candidate is keen to deepen their understanding of the application of geochemistry and quality control principles. If you have interest in geochemical data, this is a phenomenal opportunity to learn how to manage and assess geochemical data and ensure it is fit for purpose.

Proof of a valid work permit will also be required, if applicable.

Don’t miss out on this opening to be part of one of Canada’s leading mining companies and join our team!
