About Us At Baffinland, we work and live beyond the Arctic Circle, mining iron ore at our Mary River Property, located in the Qikiqtani Region of Nunavut on Baffin Island; one of the world’s most captivating and seldom seen destinations. We are a unique company with a strong management who have amassed specialty experience on northern mining projects through all phases of Inuit consultation, permitting, construction and operation. Our workforce brings together the contemporary practice of safe, sustainable mining and the enduring value of a traditional culture, which is rapidly advancing. The result is a work and community experience you won't find anywhere else. We are looking for people ready to share, build, and grow with our company. Reporting to the Planning Superintendent, the Long Range Planner will plan longer term strategies for mobile equipment assessment, inspections, mid-life, and asset refurbishments working closely with Reliability and Mobile Maintenance on supporting Iron Ore Mining operation to maintain the asset life cycle.
