About the Position
🏕 Opportunity
Mount Milligan is a copper-gold open-pit mine about 155 km northwest of Prince George, and Centerra is hiring a Heavy Equipment Operator (job MTM217) on a steady 7-days-on, 7-days-off schedule with 12-hour shifts. The posted range is $45.44 to $55.08 an hour depending on experience, with an annual incentive bonus on top, and the posting is open until early December 2026.
🔧 The Role
- Operate haul trucks, dozers, excavators, graders and loaders around the pit and site
- Complete pre- and post-shift inspections and the daily equipment reports
- Flag mechanical and safety issues as you find them
- Follow site procedures and work alongside the maintenance and operations crews
🍁 CanadaCampJobs Take
A 7/7 is one of the easier rotations to live with. You're never gone long, and a full week at home each cycle means you actually get a life outside camp. You stay in a private camp room on site, and the company runs a bus from Prince George, Fort St. James and Mackenzie, so there's no airport routine. It's a good fit if you're a regional BC operator who wants mine wages without a long fly-in, or an experienced operator who wants a regular week-on, week-off schedule.
✅ Best Fit
- Operators with 3+ years on mining or industrial equipment who want a weekly rotation
- People based in Prince George, Fort St. James or Mackenzie who can use the site bus
- Operators comfortable across several machines (haul trucks, dozers, excavators, graders, loaders), with CAT experience a plus
- Workers who are fine with 12-hour shifts and sleeping in camp during the week on
- Anyone who wants a mine employer with a pension match and share purchase plan
- Not a fit for: people who need a fixed day-shift life at home every night, or anyone who can't pass pre-employment testing
Requirements
- 3+ years of heavy equipment experience in mining or industrial settings
- Valid Class 5 driver's licence and a current driver's abstract
- High school diploma or equivalent
- Experience with CAT equipment preferred
- Legal authorization to work in Canada
- Ability to pass pre-employment testing
Benefits
- Camp accommodation with meals and a private room
- Free bus transport from Prince George, Fort St. James and Mackenzie
- Tax-free travel allowance
- Annual incentive bonus, plus long-term incentive
- Extended health, dental, vision and travel insurance
- Life, disability and AD&D coverage
- Pension with company match
- Employee share purchase plan with company match
- Healthcare / wellness spending account
- Work gear and equipment reimbursement
- Professional development opportunities
