Working with AMPS
AMPS is a mining engineering and geology consultancy specialising in operational
support, both onsite and remotely. Established in Australia 15 years ago, AMPS
has built a strong reputation in the industry and is now expanding rapidly
across North America.
Working in Canada with AMPS offers the opportunity to broaden your technical and
operational experience across a very different mining environment, working
alongside established North American operations and teams. For Australian
engineers, it is a chance to experience a different landscape, climate and
culture, while working alongside Canadians, who may teach you about snowmobiles
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.
