Teck offers ‘a job that gives you meaning’
W
hen Kim Lyle goes
to work each day
and looks at the
rugged terrain of the
Highland Valley in B.C.’s Interior,
she’s excited to know the rocky slope
she’s standing on is at the cutting
edge of reclamation technology
where no two days working at Teck
Resources are the same.
“There’s such a variety of things
I get to do, and I just love getting
the opportunity to do new things
with great people,” says Lyle, senior
co-ordinator, biodiversity, reclamation and closure. “I get to interact
and collaborate with a wonderful
team that is skilled and talented with
all different kinds of expertise and
experience on a regular basis.”
“At Teck, you can meet your
personal and family goals
working in a place where
you’re going to be rewarded
for your efforts, as well as
contributing to something
bigger than yourself.”

Human Resources & Talent
Teck is a leading Canadian
resource company with world-class
copper and zinc operations in North
and South America. Headquartered
in Vancouver, the company’s 7,200
employees responsibly produce the
metals essential for global development and the energy transition.
Teck is dedicated to working
with communities to restore the
landscapes it works in. The Highland
Valley Copper mine site presents
Lyle and her fellow employees with
unique challenges. But since joining
Teck two years ago, she’s seen how
the company has used innovation
and collaboration to transform the
landscape. From adding the latest
biodiversity monitoring tools to a
research trial to achieve hardier
seedlings, she and her team are
always exploring new reclamation
technologies and techniques.
It’s the kind of work Lyle fell in
love with at university. In addition
to getting her bachelor of science
degree, specializing in ecology, from
the University of Waterloo, she also
received a diploma in ecological restoration at the same time. She went
on to get her master’s in science,
specializing in mine site reclamation.
After getting into the field during
a co-op program, she knew she’d
found her career.
To keep her at the forefront of
her vocation, Teck offers in-house
training as well as apprenticeships
and skills programs. It also provides
mentorship programs and up to 100
per cent coverage of tuition fees.
“We provide rewarding career
paths and people are given every
chance to fulfil their potential. Teck’s
education and training opportunities
are key factors in attracting and
retaining employees,” says Patrick
Doyle, vice president, human
resources and talent.
“At Teck, you can meet your
personal and family goals working
in a place where you’re going to be
rewarded for your efforts, as well as
contributing to something bigger
than yourself.”

meetings, conferences with their

Making that difference is what
motivates Lyle and her team.
“The reclamation space is
developing fast right now in Canada
and in B.C., and Teck isn’t afraid to
be in those spaces where we increase
biodiversity and achieve positive
impacts,” she says.
“It’s not always common for a
company to say, ‘You know what,
we’re going be in the forefront of
this.’ It’s been a really amazing two
years so far and I’m excited to keep
going.” ¢
