About Us

At Baffinland, we work and live beyond the Arctic Circle, mining iron ore at our Mary River Property, located in the Qikiqtani Region of Nunavut on Baffin Island; one of the world’s most captivating and seldom seen destinations. We are a unique company with a strong management who have amassed specialty experience on northern mining projects through all phases of Inuit consultation, permitting, construction and operation. Our workforce brings together the modern practice of safe, sustainable mining and the enduring value of a traditional culture, which is rapidly advancing. The result is a work and community experience you won't find anywhere else. We are looking for people ready to share, build, and grow with our company.

Students and recent graduates are the future of Baffinland and of our communities. Baffinland has created tailored internship programs for recent Inuit graduates and is currently recruiting interns to join our team on a 12-month internship. Candidates who self-identify as Inuit enrolled under the Nunavut Agreement will be given priority. These roles can be at our Mary River Mine, in our communities, Iqaluit or Oakville offices.
