MY JOB
Where I work
Vale Inco is one of the largest nickel producing companies in the world. There are operations all over the globe, including Sudbury and Thompson.
I work at Birchtree Mine in Thompson with about 75 staff, including our above ground office. I work both above ground and underground.
The complex is divided into upper (2,100-2,750 feet below surface) and lower (2,800 to 4,000 feet below ground) levels. The levels are connected by a ramp so you can drive to wherever in the mine you're needed. To get to the ramp you take the cage, which is like an elevator, to one of the main levels.
