Mine Geologist

About the role

This is an excellent opportunity for an entry- to mid-level geologist who is interested in building hands-on experience in an active open-pit gold mining environment. The Mine Geologist provides day-to-day geological support to mining operations, working closely with Mine Operations, Engineering, Exploration, Process, Safety, and Survey.

Responsibilities

• Perform pit and blast pattern mapping and interpret geological contacts, structures, alteration, and material types
• Analyze blasthole assay and geological data to help define ore and waste boundaries, optimize grade, and minimize dilution
• Support grade control, ore routing, blending, and appropriate leach pad placement
• Oversee blasthole sampling and assist with established QA/QC and data-quality practices
• Monitor and document geological conditions within active mining areas
• Provide geological information to support short- and long-term mine planning
• Assist with month-end geological and reconciliation reporting
• Maintain digital geological and pit mapping data and support development of 3D geological models
• Work with Exploration to identify and evaluate potential near-mine drilling targets
• Support RC drilling programs, including drill supervision and chip logging, as needed
• Collaborate with Survey and other site teams to support daily mining activities
• Perform other duties as assigned

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Geology, Geological Engineering, or a related earth science field
• Previous open-pit mining, mine geology, or exploration experience is preferred but not required for a strong entry-level candidate
• Exposure to 3D geological or mine planning software is preferred; experience with MineSight, Vulcan, Datamine, Micromine, or similar programs is beneficial
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail and data quality
• Ability to interpret geological and assay data and communicate findings effectively
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to work independently with appropriate direction while contributing effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team
• Willingness to learn, take on increasing responsibility, and work in both office and field environments
• Strong commitment to safe work practices and mine-site procedures
• Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record
