  • Collect routine geotechnical measurements, including core recovery and RQD.
  • Provide guidance and quality checks for work performed by core technicians.
  • Monitor assigned active drill rigs, drilling progress, and core recovery.
  • Coordinate with drillers and drilling supervisors as needed.

  • Communicate daily progress through quick logs and accurate production reporting.
  • Assist senior geological staff with technical presentations, summaries, and materials used to communicate program status.

Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Geology or a related field.
  • 0-3 years of experience in mineral exploration, mine geology, or a related field.
  • Experience logging drill core in an active exploration or mining environment.
  • Experience with, or ability to quickly learn, geological data-entry systems such as acQuire, MX Deposit, or similar platforms.
  • Understanding of, or ability to quickly learn, sampling protocols, QA/QC procedures, core logging best practices, RQD, oriented core technology, and geological databases.
  • Experience with porphyry copper deposits is a plus.
  • Open-pit mining experience is a plus.
  • GIS and 3D geological modeling software experience is a plus.
  • Valid driver's license and ability to maintain an acceptable driving record.
  • Ability to safely operate four-wheel-drive vehicles in remote and rugged terrain.
  • Ability to successfully complete required background checks and pre-employment screening.

Physical Requirements
  • Ability to understand, follow, and communicate work assignments, procedures, and safety requirements in English.
  • Ability to frequently sit, stand, and walk.
  • Ability to lift and carry up to 25 pounds.
  • Ability to work safely in field conditions and remote or rugged terrain.
