Çayeli Bakır İşletmeleri A.Ş.

Located in the Çayeli, Rize and founded in 1983, Çayeli Bakır is proudly part of First Quantum Minerals, one of the world's top 10 copper producers with operations on five continents. As one of the top ten mineral exporters in Türkiye, we were the first to apply mechanized metal mining and pioneered many ever-evolving mining technologies and management systems. In addition, our philosophy of "Respect for the Environment” and our “Zero Discharge” policy, ensures that we conduct and maintain our mining activities in harmony with our unique environment.

Occupational safety awareness is our top priority. At Çayeli Bakır, refusing hazardous, unsafe work is not a "right", but an "obligation". The first mining company in Türkiye to instil this in all employees, we regularly receive and implement their suggestions.

Our motto "Our true gem is our employees”, is a culture with a long history at Çayeli Bakır. We prioritize and support our employees careers and personal development with programs tailored to their needs. The value we place on them is recognised by the "Best Application of Company Level Social Dialogue" award from the International Labor Organization (ILO) and the “Great Place to Work®” certificate.

Many of our valued colleagues, who worked at Çayeli Bakır and contributed to the building of our corporate culture over the past 40 years, now hold important positions in other successful mining companies in Türkiye.

As Rize's highest corporate tax payer, our local employment and purchasing policies deliver important resources and social responsibility projects for our neighbours and stakeholders. Thanks to our new ore discovery, we will continue to enhance our community by contributing to the economic and social development of our region.

We are a global mining company that values its employees and is helpful to society. Joining us will make you part of a team that values continual development in a safe, friendly, and peaceful environment!
