  • Experience advancing both surface and underground projects.
  • Strong understanding of QA/QC principles, implementation, and data evaluation.

  • Excellent leadership, communication, organizational, and team-building skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet project deadlines.
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Geosciences or a related field; field camp experience required.
  • Demonstrated ability and willingness to work in remote mining and exploration environments.

Safety, Environmental, and Compliance

  • Demonstrate an uncompromising commitment to safety and environmental stewardship.
  • Adhere to all company safety policies, procedures, and regulatory requirements.
