Log core and chips across a variety of rock types
Supervise RC drilling activities on site
Implement and monitor QAQC procedures across sampling programs
Maintain security and integrity of all samples and analytical results

What you’ll gain
You will:

Deepen your exposure to structured exploration programs in a recognised gold district
Build confidence managing drill programs and contractors
Strengthen your QAQC, structural, mapping and interpretation skills
Work closely with experienced geologists and learn from established systems and processes.

What you’ll bring
To be successful, you will have:

BSc in Geology, with Honours
Relevant exploration or academic experience
Knowledge across key exploration techniques including geochemistry, core and chip logging, structural geology, mapping, sampling methods, drilling and geophysical interpretation
Working knowledge of GIS and exploration software
Awareness of cultural and community considerations and land access requirements
Strong commitment to safety, health and environmental standards
Good organisational and administrative skills
