  • 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.
  • Identify, report, and correct unsafe conditions and behaviors.
  • Promote a culture of safe and responsible work practices.
