    • Support Site Geology Teams

  • Provide hands-on support to site geology teams on database use, workflows, and troubleshooting.
  • Plan and deliver training sessions (on-site and remote) on acQuire GIM Suite and related data workflows.
  • Help geologists optimize their logging, sampling, and assay workflows for data quality, consistency, and downstream use in resource models and mine planning.
  • Act as a key liaison between corporate data standards and site-specific operational realities.

    • Data Quality, QA / QC & Technical Integrity

  • Support the design and implementation of QA / QC programs for drilling and assay data (standards, blanks, duplicates, umpire checks, etc.).
  • Work with resource geologists and consultants to ensure databases are clean, well-documented, and fit for use in resource estimation and technical reporting.
  • Participate in data reviews and audits, including legacy data rehabilitation and validation projects.
  • Provide technical input to due diligence on potential acquisitions, focused on data quality, data completeness, and database structure.

    • Collaboration & Travel

  • Work closely with the Principal Geologist – Data Manager, resource geologists, exploration teams, mine planners, and corporate leadership.
  • Build relationships with site teams to ensure alignment between corporate data strategy and on-the-ground needs.
  • Travel up to 25% of the time (up to ~one week per month), domestically and internationally, for implementations, training, and site support.

  • Basic SQL coding experience (e.g., queries, simple views, data validation checks).
  • Familiarity with QA / QC concepts and best practices for geologic and assay data.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to train and support geologists and technicians at varying levels of experience.
  • Willingness and ability to travel to project sites (sometimes remote) as required

    • Considered an Asset

  • Experience with mine planning and modeling tools such as : Deswik, Leapfrog, Origin, Vulcan
  • Experience with other geologic database platforms such as : Geobank, Fusion, DataSHed, MX Deposit
  • Experience logging core and / or managing drill programs (RC and / or diamond).
  • Experience building dashboards or reports for technical and management audiences (e.g., Power BI, Tableau, or similar).
  • Experience standardizing data across multiple deposits or operating sites and building a corporate data model.

    • Personal Attributes :

  • Detail-oriented and structured, with a strong focus on data quality, consistency, and traceability.
  • Collaborative communicator who can build trust with both corporate staff and site-based geologists and technicians.
  • Change champion who can help drive adoption of new systems and standards in a constructive, supportive way.
