What are exempt geologists?

Exempt geologists are professional geologists whose job duties and salary structure qualify them to be 'exempt' from certain wage and hour laws under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). This means they are not eligible for overtime pay and are typically paid on a salary basis. Exempt status is usually determined by their level of responsibility, required education, and independent decision-making authority. Exempt geologists often engage in tasks such as supervising projects, conducting complex geological studies, and preparing technical reports.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Exempt Geologist, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Exempt Geologist, you need a solid background in earth sciences, geological mapping, and data analysis, usually supported by a relevant degree and state licensure or certification. Familiarity with GIS software, remote sensing tools, and modeling systems is essential for accurate data interpretation and reporting. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help in presenting findings and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams. These competencies ensure precise geological assessments, regulatory compliance, and informed decision-making on resource management projects.

What are some typical challenges an Exempt Geologist might face when working on multiple projects simultaneously?

Exempt Geologists often juggle several projects at once, which can present challenges such as managing competing deadlines, adapting to varying site conditions, and maintaining clear communication with multiple stakeholders. Balancing fieldwork with reporting and analysis requires strong organizational skills and the ability to prioritize tasks efficiently. Additionally, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams—such as engineers, environmental scientists, and regulatory agencies—demands effective teamwork and flexibility to adapt to shifting project requirements.

Job description

Ur-Energy | Lost Creek, WY | Full-Time | Exempt

About the Role

Ur-Energy is seeking an experienced Production Geologist to support delineation and production drilling programs and resource development at our Lost Creek ISR uranium facility in Wyoming. This is a technically hands-on role working closely with the Geology Manager and cross-functional teams to keep active wellfield operations running efficiently and in compliance.

If you have a strong geology background, ISR or uranium mining experience, and enjoy translating data into actionable field decisions, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

  • Provide geological and technical expertise in support of drilling programs and resource development projects
  • Assist with geologic logging of drill cuttings, environmental sampling, and related field investigations
  • Interpret drilling data from geophysical logs and core samples
  • Perform mineral resource calculations and prepare technical reports for senior staff review
  • Design monitor and production pattern wells
  • Create and update maps, figures, and technical exhibits using GIS and CAD software for operational, permitting, and presentation purposes
  • Prepare and deliver written and oral technical reports, summaries, and recommendations
  • Coordinate with Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) personnel to support permitting, bonding, and regulatory compliance

What We're Looking For

Required:

  • Bachelor of Science in Geology or Geological Engineering
  • 2+ years of geological experience; mining experience preferred
  • Working knowledge of geophysical logs and related concepts as applied in ISR uranium mining
  • Understanding of hydrologic concepts as they relate to uranium deposition and extraction
  • Strong GIS skills and general computer proficiency
  • Professional-level written and verbal communication skills
  • Valid driver's license with an insurable driving record

You'll Stand Out If You Have:

  • Direct ISR or uranium mining experience
  • Familiarity with permitting and regulatory compliance in a mining context
  • Experience with CAD software in addition to GIS platforms

Work Environment

This is a site-based role at our Lost Creek facility in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. Work includes both office-based tasks and field assignments, with exposure to outdoor weather conditions and varied noise levels. Physical requirements include the ability to lift up to 50 lbs., climb, balance, stoop, kneel, and crouch as needed.

Why Ur-Energy

Ur-Energy (NYSE American: URG | TSX: URE) is one of Wyoming's leading uranium producers, operating the Lost Creek ISR facility and the newly active Shirley Basin project. We offer a stable, safety-focused environment where geologists play a meaningful role in active operations from day one.

  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • Site-based role with real operational responsibility
  • Growing company with two active Wyoming mine sites

How to Apply

Submit your resume along with a brief summary of your geology experience, particularly any ISR or uranium mining background. We review applications on a rolling basis.
