Working With Us
Agnico-Eagle’s corporate culture is based on the principle that every person has the right to be treated with dignity and respect. We operate as a partnership, which is based on mutual respect, commitment and dedication to excellence. The people of Agnico-Eagle have responded with strong loyalty and performance. Thanks to their ideas and efforts, efficiency has improved, gold production has progressively increased and safety is one of our proudest records.
At LaRonde, many employees have been with the company since production began in 1988. We encourage and support them by providing quality learning and development opportunities that enable employees to be successful in all areas of their work. We also offer competitive compensation and benefits including a bonus plan, a scholarship program and a subsidized stock purchase plan.
At Pinos Altos, we have built distinctly Mexican cottages, which are permanent structures made by local contractors using local wood and materials, instead of setting up trailers to house on-site workers. The cottages accommodate up to 300 people. Once the Pinos Altos operation is up and running, we expect that virtually all of the 200 people employed at the mine will be Mexican, with approximately 50% from neighbouring communities. At Kittila, Agnico-Eagle is counting on the high expertise and leadership of a long term mining development history to ensure the construction of the project. More than 300 employees, mainly coming from the local communities, will be working in this world class operation.
