Our People

Centerra’s people-first culture is built on respect, collaboration, and opportunity. We believe that a diverse and inclusive workforce strengthens our organization and reflects the communities where we work.

We are proud to work closely with First Nations in the region to recruit, train, and develop talented individuals who bring local knowledge, leadership, and perspective to our teams. Indigenous-owned businesses also play a key role in our success, contributing specialized services and expertise to our operations.

Workplace Development

We continue to invest in professional development programs, leadership training, and workplace inclusion initiatives that help employees grow and succeed. Centerra’s values of Caring, Integrity, and Excellence guide how we treat one another, make decisions, and recognize individual contributions. Our goal is to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, empowered, and part of a collective purpose.

Workplace Health and Safety

Safety is at the heart of Centerra’s operations. We are committed to a zero-harm culture that ensures everyone returns home safely at the end of the day. This commitment is reflected in our policies, safety systems, and the everyday actions of our people. Across British Columbia, our operations recorded strong safety performance supported by ongoing leadership training and hazard- prevention programs.

From exploration to closure, Centerra’s approach to safety is proactive and continuous. We promote open communication, shared accountability, and constant learning so that health, safety, and well-being remain central to everything we do.
