Our workforce includes both residential and commute rosters, creating a diverse and dynamic team. Lihir offers a range of recreational facilities, including a gym, sports club, restaurant, bar, swimming pool, tennis and squash courts, and a 9-hole golf course. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the Lihir fishing and boating clubs provide access to pristine waters and beaches, while our onsite deli and café serve fresh local and imported produce, barista-made coffee, and freshly baked goods.</span></div><div> </div><div><span style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12.0pt">We are proud to work closely with the local Lihirian community and value its vibrant culture.
