The Company Globe 24-7 is partnering with a Canadian owner/operator client to hire an experienced Senior Resource Geologist to support one of their operations in Dubreuilville, Ontario.
Position Overview Reporting to the Geology Manager, the Senior Resource Geologist provides technical leadership for the development, maintenance, validation, and continuous improvement of short- and long-term geological resource models across multiple operations and exploration projects.
The role is primarily responsible for supporting underground mining operations while providing technical expertise to open pit operations and other regional projects as required. The Senior Resource Geologist is accountable for ensuring mineral resource models and associated technical documentation are accurate, defensible, and suitable for mine planning, reconciliation, technical studies, and internal and external reporting.
Success in this role is demonstrated through the delivery of high-quality resource estimates, effective communication of geological opportunities and risks, strong collaboration across multidisciplinary technical teams, and the mentoring and development of Resource Geologists and other geology professionals.
The Responsibilities Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Lead or oversee geostatistical analysis and the selection of estimation parameters, including compositing, top-cutting, variography, search strategies, interpolation methods, density assignment, model validation, and resource classification.
- Integrate drilling, sampling, mapping, survey, density, and production data into geological resource models while ensuring the integrity, quality, and traceability of model inputs and outputs.
- Lead mineral resource updates and maintain supporting model documentation, resource inventories, and records of changes resulting from exploration, geological reinterpretation, classification updates, sterilization, and mining depletion.
- Act as, or support, the Qualified Person (QP) for mineral resource reporting in accordance with applicable reporting codes, industry standards, internal governance requirements, and recognized best practices.
- Prepare, review, and contribute to technical reports, mineral resource disclosures, audits, and technical studies, including preliminary, pre-feasibility, feasibility, and life-of-mine evaluations.
- Lead reconciliation activities between resource models, grade control, mine production, and processing results, working collaboratively with geology, engineering, mine planning, survey, production, processing, and metallurgy teams.
- Investigate significant reconciliation variances, communicate findings, and recommend improvements to geological interpretations, estimation methodologies, data collection practices, grade control processes, and model performance.
- Collaborate with exploration and operational geology teams on geological interpretations, quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC), data integrity, drill planning, resource conversion, and resource growth opportunities.
- Provide geological and resource model information to technical and operational stakeholders, ensuring model outputs meet downstream planning, engineering, environmental, processing, and operational requirements.
- Identify, assess, document, and communicate geological, estimation, and resource risks, uncertainties, limitations, and opportunities to technical and operational leadership.
- Conduct technical peer reviews of geological interpretations and resource models, promoting consistent modelling, estimation, validation, documentation, and governance practices.
- Coach, mentor, and develop Resource Geologists and other technical professionals through technical guidance, knowledge sharing, constructive feedback, and progressive development opportunities.
- Manage or coordinate the work of consultants and contractors, including scope development, technical review, schedule management, and quality assurance of deliverables.
- Champion continuous improvement by supporting technical innovation, software evaluation, process optimization, and the adoption of industry best practices.
- Ensure all work is completed safely, ethically, professionally, and in accordance with established technical standards, governance requirements, and reporting deadlines.
Qualifications- Bachelor’s degree in Geology, Geological Engineering, Earth Sciences, or a related discipline from a recognized institution.
- Minimum of 8–10 years of progressive experience in mining or mineral exploration, including at least five years of significant experience in geological modelling and mineral resource estimation.
- Registration as a Professional Geoscientist or Professional Engineer in Ontario, or eligibility for immediate registration, with professional standing maintained in good standing.
- Qualified Person (QP) designation, for mineral resources under NI 43-101, is a strong asset.
- Advanced expertise in three-dimensional geological modelling, geostatistical analysis, grade estimation, model validation, resource classification, and technical documentation.
- Demonstrated experience developing and reviewing lithological, structural, alteration, mineralization, and estimation domain models that support mineral resource estimates.
- Experience in an operating mining environment, including resource depletion, model-to-model, model-to-mine, and mine-to-mill reconciliation.
- Strong understanding of drilling, geological logging, sampling, assay management, density determination, survey practices, geological database management, and QA/QC procedures.
- Experience contributing to technical studies and NI 43-101-compliant mineral resource reporting.
- Proficiency with industry-standard geological modelling, resource estimation, and database management software. Experience with Datamine, Leapfrog Geo or Edge, Supervisor, acQuire, and Microsoft Office Suite is preferred.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, organizational, and technical writing skills, with the ability to communicate complex technical information effectively to diverse audiences.
- Demonstrated ability to work independently, exercise sound professional judgment, manage competing priorities, and consistently meet project and reporting deadlines.
- Proven leadership, collaboration, coaching, and mentoring skills within multidisciplinary technical teams.
- Experience managing consultants, contractors, or remote technical teams is considered an asset.
