Job description

Orla Mining is striving to be the emerging gold producer of choice with a geographically diversified asset base, a prospective development and exploration portfolio, an experienced management team with a successful track record, and a high-quality board and shareholder base.

Orla operates the Camino Rojo Oxide Gold Mine, a gold and silver open-pit heap leach mine located in Zacatecas State, Central Mexico. This low-cost operation is 100% owned by Orla, covers over 139,000 hectares, and includes a large sulphide mineral endowment beneath the oxide resources. We are also advancing permitting and development on our South Railroad Project, a feasibility-stage, open-pit heap leach project in Nevada, situated on the prolific Carlin trend. This project is part of our larger South Carlin Complex, which includes a prospective land package. Additionally, we recently acquired the Musselwhite Mine in Northern Ontario on Lake Opapimiskan, a gold mine with over 25 years of operating history. The Musselwhite Mine has enabled Orla to more than double gold production and provides a strategic entry into a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction. The mine is highly prospective with potential for resource expansion and increased mine life.

Orla is committed to building a legacy of excellence, respect, and sustainable value through responsible gold mining. We aim to create a net positive impact for all stakeholders and leave a lasting legacy beyond our mines' operational life. Our approach involves building and operating high-quality mines led by an experienced team. We see ourselves as custodians of our assets and the environments we operate in, fostering a culture of excellence, care, and respect.

The program lasts two months and includes modules on Underground Hard Rock mining and other specialty topics.

What you can expect from us:

• Training provided by experienced professionals
• Valuable exposure to the mining industry
• Mentoring and hands-on experience

Our values unify our culture. From leadership to operations, we are invested in our people. Working with us means joining a community of skilled professionals committed to pioneering sustainable mining practices.

Successful candidates will have:

• Be 18 years of age or older
• Minimum Grade 10 education or equivalent
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• The ability to work independently and in a team
• Self-motivation and eagerness to learn new skills
