AMPS is a mining engineering and geology consultancy specialising in operational

and ice-fishing!
At AMPS, we invest considerable effort in the success of our people through
selection of assignments, pre-deployment training, and career development over
a career with AMPS.
Our on-site staff are supported by their team leaders and a network of their peers.
When we are with our clients, we are committed to delivering great technical
work, we communicate clearly, help others, and add value for every client.
Our mission at AMPS is to improve the professional capabilities in the resources
industry for positive and lasting change.
