Careers

Building a strong workforce in northern Saskatchewan is a priority at Cameco.

More than half of the employees at our Saskatchewan mine operations are residents of Saskatchewan’s north (RSN). But we’re not content to rest solely on that achievement.

Cameco’s uranium deposits in this region are among the world’s richest and most technically challenging and it takes a diverse group of skilled and educated people to mine them. From scholarships and internships for northern students to apprenticeships and career planning for employees, Cameco’s workforce development activities are positioning northerners to succeed.

We are looking for career-minded northerners who are eager to challenge themselves beyond an entry-level position. If you are looking to work close to home in an exciting, highly-skilled profession within a unique industry, Cameco is looking for you.

Cameco Connects

All-women class highlights Cameco’s new trades training program. The demand for labour in the province’s mining sector is projected to grow by 35 per cent by 2034 and northern trade positions are already hard to fill. Cameco’s pilot project introduces students to a variety of skilled trades - before they commit to a career path. For the first classes being held in early 2025, all 10 students and one of the instructors are women. #nsk Learn more at https://ow.ly/CQ5A50Us29z

Stepping foot onto Cameco’s McArthur River mine site for the first time was a bit scary, Bailey Tinker says. However, she found it easy to get to know people and create work relationships and personal friendships. Tinker’s work experience placement is just one example of the benefits provided to northern Saskatchewan communities, including three First Nations and four municipalities, through our collaboration agreements. Since the first agreement was signed in 2012, Saskatchewan’s north has seen more than $1.6 billion invested locally. #nsk Learn more at https://ow.ly/whLq50Urvjl

Last week, we wrapped up Cameco's 2024 northern engagement tour by visiting the English River First Nation in Patuanak. We shared, we listened and we learned. Thank you for the warm hospitality, teaching us how to make bannock, and the valuable insights you shared! #nsk
