My current role at EVR is a Project Manager on a mine extension project at Greenhills Operations. I’m really enjoying working on a project that involves nearly every element of our business. I’m learning new things every day and get to work with so many great people across the organization who are experts in their field. I’m proud of the work I’ve done on projects, previously in water quality management and now in mine development, which make meaningful contributions to EVR’s environmental goals and priorities. EVR is full of great people who love where they live and care about contributing to sustainable and responsible mining in the Elk Valley. My family and I spend most of our time skiing, biking, hiking and camping throughout the Kootenays. Living here means endless opportunities for adventure in one of the most beautiful regions and being part of an amazing community. My advice for others: Take initiative, ask questions, work with integrity, and opportunities will come your way!

I’ve been with EVR for two years as an Accountant, where I support month-end close, forecasting site spend, and the annual budget process. I enjoy building relationships across departments while gaining a deeper understanding of the mining process from pit to port. I’m proud of the growth I’ve experienced during my time here, especially in taking on new challenges and contributing to value-added projects across site. What sets EVR apart is the culture. There’s a strong sense of community, with a shared goal and a genuine commitment to supporting and celebrating employees. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and spending time with friends and family. In the winter, I coach minor hockey, and in the summer, I enjoy rodeoing, golfing, and playing ball.

One of the things I value most is the ability to maintain a healthy work-life balance while living close to incredible outdoor opportunities. My advice to new team members: take initiative and make the most of both the work and the lifestyle this area offers.
I joined EVR in May 2025 as a Co-op student with the Central Geotechnical Team, and I’ll be continuing in this role through August 2026. As a Geological Engineering student from Queen’s University, this opportunity has allowed me to apply my academic learning to real-world geotechnical work in a meaningful way. I’ve been able to contribute to engaging projects while building a strong technical foundation in the field. Working alongside the geotechnical team has deepened my understanding, strengthened my technical skills, and reinforced many of the concepts I’ve learned in school. Being part of a team that values collaboration and knowledge sharing has made this experience both rewarding and impactful. What I enjoy most about working in the Elk Valley is the opportunity to be outdoors in such a beautiful setting while collaborating with a supportive and knowledgeable group of people. The combination of hands-on experience and the surrounding landscape makes every day unique. The culture at EVR truly stands out. It’s an environment that fosters learning, encourages teamwork, and supports growth. I’ve felt welcomed and supported throughout my time here, which has made a big difference in my overall experience. My advice for other students?

I’ve been with EVR for three years, beginning on the water compliance team after a consulting background. My current role is focused on environmental compliance, ensuring we meet permits and regulatory requirements, including waste management and spill response. I enjoy the variety in my work and collaborating across departments and with contractors. EVR offers plenty of opportunities to grow and learn. The supportive culture, great people, and strong work-life balance make it a great place to build a career.

Outside of work, you’ll find me outdoors snowboarding in winter, and fishing, biking, or camping in summer. I’m also a musician who plays locally and tours throughout the Kootenays and Alberta.

I’m proud of my role as a Heavy Duty Mechanic and backup supervisor at EVR. It’s a great feeling to know I’m making a real impact on the equipment that keeps everything running. The variety of work keeps me engaged – no two days are ever the same. One day I’m working on haul trucks and excavators, the next it’s shovels and drills. The dynamic nature of the job can be challenging, but it’s always interesting and there’s always something to learn. The camaraderie among the team is key—we’re always bouncing ideas off each other and working together to solve problems safely. Living in Elkford is great, especially for outdoor enthusiasts like me. I spend a lot of my free time hiking with my girlfriend and our dog, fishing, and working on old cars, including my 1967 Camaro and a 1957 T-Bird that my grandpa purchased in 1961. It’s been out of commission since 1984, but this summer I’m bringing it back to life. I’ve always enjoyed fixing things, whether it’s for work or just for the satisfaction of it. EVR is a great place to work. If you’re a tradesperson considering joining EVR, my advice is: take pride in your work, own your job, and do your best.

"I’ve been with EVR for a year, focused on water management, air quality, and regulatory compliance. Soon, I’ll be moving to the proposed Cougar Phase 8 & 9 Mine Project – an exciting next step for Greenhills Operations. At EVR, it’s the people who make the difference. My colleagues are welcoming, supportive, fun, and professional. EVR also stands out for linking operational goals with environmental and social responsibilities—from water stewardship and biodiversity to Indigenous engagement and long-term land use.

The scenery, trails, and wildlife are incredible—but just as meaningful is the strong sense of community. As newcomers, we’ve felt truly welcomed, whether through local schools, events, or the friendly faces we meet on those special days when the beloved coffee truck sets up outside Kootenay Market.
