Large-scale copper, gold, and molybdenum mining with global operations
Freeport-McMoRan is a publicly traded metals producer operating major mining assets across Indonesia, North America, and South America. The tech stack reflects a capital-intensive, regulated industrial operation: PLCs, SCADA/HMI, DCS, and fieldbus protocols (Modbus, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP) dominate process control, paired with enterprise systems (SAP, SQL) and analytics tools (Power BI, Tableau, Python, R). Active hiring skews heavily toward engineering and operations roles—particularly in site construction, maintenance, and production management—signaling sustained investment in asset expansion and reliability across geographically dispersed mines.
