Careers

A native of Saint‑Michel‑des‑Saints, Samy could have chosen, like many others, to find his path elsewhere. Instead, he decided to stay and contribute directly to the growth of his region.

A Geomatic Engineering Candidate (EIT) at NMG, he serves as the link between the engineers’ vision and on‑site reality: infrastructure conceptualization, construction monitoring, and the development of digital tools to support field teams. At the same time, he has been actively involved for nearly five years in the development of the Espace nature Haute‑Matawinie recreational and tourism center, one of NMG’s flagship regional initiatives.

“What I find most exciting is being able to work across so many aspects of the project and to have a complete view of an initiative of this scale. Every day brings new challenges and new learning opportunities. Unlike big cities where everything is already established, here, everything is still to be built!”

A mechanical engineer trained in Morocco, Younes has built over nine years of experience in industrial maintenance and project management, particularly in the hydropower sector. After arriving in Canada, he obtained his professional recognition from the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec (OIQ) in 2025. Today, he brings this expertise to NMG as a Maintenance Project Manager.

“NMG has represented much more than a job for me, it has been a true opportunity for transition, learning, and adaptation. This is where my professional journey has found new momentum.”

From his bustling Montréal life, Carl‑André traveled to northern Québec to embark on a Vocational Studies Diploma training in ore processing operations. Upon graduation, he made the big move, relocating to Saint-Michel-des-Saints with his spouse and newborn son to join Team Nouveau Monde. Today, he works as a Process Technician.

“From the get-go, I knew that I wanted to work for NMG, a mine in the making that aligns with my ecoresponsible values. Although 2020 was difficult globally, it was a pivotal year for me. I had the happiness of experiencing the birth of my son and the pleasure of getting the job I wanted. I’m now within walking distance of work, with the woman I love by my side and our happy baby in a municipality that we love more and more every day.”

Originally from Madagascar, Hantsa has always had a passion for mining and a love of nature, two commitments that, at NMG, go hand in hand.

After starting her career as a laboratory technician at the Phase 1 plant, she has grown alongside the company. Now a resident of Haute‑Matawinie, she holds the position of Project Manager, Environment & Sustainable Infrastructure.

“NMG’s commitment to sustainable development means a lot to me. Nature is so precious; it’s our duty to ensure a responsible energy transition. What I love most about my job is that innovation drives everything we do. We are constantly evolving and improving our processes and procedures. That’s really motivating!”

Gabriel aspires to make an impact on society and the planet's future through his work. Taking on the role of Manager, Carbon Neutrality Program at NMG proved to be his opportunity to shift his efforts and expertise from corrective environmental measures to proactive and innovative climate solutions. The most important project Gabriel has worked on so far is the development and publication of NMG's Climate Action Plan 2022-2030+. 

"I'm proud of this action plan, which is on a scale that few start-ups can adopt. This plan demonstrates NMG's climate commitment and seriousness. The resulting projects I work on are really making a difference, which keenly motivates me every day."
