  • Minimum 5 years of leadership experience in exploration management within the mining industry.
  • Experience with both near-mine and regional exploration programs.
  • Experience advancing both surface and underground projects.
  • Strong understanding of QA/QC principles, implementation, and data evaluation.
  • Proficiency with exploration and mining software applications.
  • GIS and 3D modeling experience preferred.
  • 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.
  • Identify, report, and correct unsafe conditions and behaviors.
  • Promote a culture of safe and responsible work practices.
  • Nevada Preferred (Remote Site-Based Role)
