Our Client
Denison Mines is redefining what uranium mining can be. Their projects fuel the world’s demand for clean energy while proving that resource development can be innovative, responsible, and deeply connected to community.
Denison will be the first in Canada to adopt ISR mining for uranium; demonstrating that mining can be cleaner, lower-impact, and more sustainable. They continue to pioneer new technologies, minimize environmental impact and build Indigenous partnerships regarded among the strongest in the industry.
What sets Denison apart is its culture: human, hands-on, hard-working, and high-performing. Leaders know their people, check in often, and roll up their sleeves alongside the team. Employees describe the workplace as welcoming and energetic, with a shared pride in doing things better.
Above all, Denison’s people know their work matters. They are driving climate solutions, advancing projects with integrity, and proving that mining can deliver not just energy; but a better future.
This is your chance to be part of building something new and at the forefront of Canada’s uranium industry; are you ready to lead?
The Opportunity
Safety is at the heart of everything Denison does. As the company continues to advance its northern Saskatchewan projects, maintaining a strong safety culture is essential to delivering work safely, responsibly, and efficiently.
As the Health & Safety Coordinator, you'll be a trusted resource for employees, contractors, and site leadership, helping bring health and safety programs to life in the field.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being visible in the field, building relationships with crews, and influencing safety through collaboration rather than compliance alone. You'll have the opportunity to make a real impact while working alongside experienced professionals on one of Canada's most innovative uranium mining projects.
