Global gold and copper mining operator with multi-continent operations
Barrick operates a capital-intensive, geographically distributed mining business spanning 12 countries across Africa, South America, North America, and the Middle East. The tech stack reflects mining-industry norms — ArcGIS, AutoCAD, SAP, Oracle, SCADA, and LIMS — but the hiring profile (engineering-heavy, 54 roles posted in 30 days) and active projects (drill programs, equipment upgrades, workforce upskilling, wall-stability monitoring) indicate sustained investment in operational resilience and safety compliance rather than digital transformation.

Barrick Gold is a publicly traded mining company headquartered in Toronto, founded in 1983. The company operates primary gold and copper mines and exploration projects across three continents, with established operations in Tanzania, Zambia, Papua New Guinea, Argentina, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Mali, Saudi Arabia, Chile, and Canada. Current projects span infill and exploration drilling, capital development (notably the Fourmile Project), metallurgical testing, and annual mine planning. Active challenges center on safety compliance, equipment downtime reduction, production cost management, tailings facility stability, and site reclamation — typical pain points in large-scale extractive operations.
Barrick actively hires across 12 countries: United States, Canada, Zambia, Argentina, Dominican Republic, Tanzania, Ecuador, Papua New Guinea, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Saudi Arabia, Chile, and Mali.
Core tools include ArcGIS Pro and QGIS for mapping, AutoCAD and Civil 3D for design, Surpac and GoldSim for mine planning, SCADA for equipment control, LIMS for lab data, and SAP and Oracle for enterprise resource planning.
