Job description

Eldorado Gold Saskatchewan | Foran (TSX:ELD) is seeking a Geophysicist to join our growing McIlvenna Bay team. This is a full-time position based at our Saskatoon office working Monday-Friday 8:00 am – 4:30 pm with travel to our McIlvenna Bay site as required.

Eldorado Gold Saskatchewan | Foran is advancing the McIlvenna Bay project, a cornerstone asset and one of the most significant copper development projects in Canada. With commercial production expected in mid-2026, this world-class deposit contains copper, zinc, gold, and silver – key metals for the global transition to green energy. We are committed to sustainable development, environmental protection, and building strong communities. We believe in empowering our people, fostering a culture of growth, and creating opportunities for meaningful careers as we build the mines of the future.

As part of the Exploration team, the Geophysicist supports mineral exploration and mining projects through the acquisition, processing, interpretation, and integration of geophysical data. The role contributes to exploration targeting, geological modelling, and technical evaluations while supporting the planning, coordination, and execution of geophysical surveys.

Working collaboratively with geologists, technical specialists, and external contractors, this position combines technical geophysics with project coordination responsibilities, including survey planning, contractor management, data quality assurance, and geophysical interpretation.

Depending on the successful candidate's qualifications and experience, responsibilities may range from supporting technical programs under the guidance of senior team members to independently leading geophysical projects and providing technical recommendations.

Job Responsibilities

  • Support the planning, execution, and interpretation of geophysical programs for mineral exploration and mining projects.
  • Compile, validate, manage, and integrate newly acquired, legacy, and historical geophysical datasets.
  • Process, model, and interpret geophysical data to support exploration targeting, geological modelling, and technical decision-making.
  • Produce standardized maps, models, reports, and custom data products to support exploration activities.
  • Develop, document, and maintain data management processes, workflows, contractor deliverables, and technical records.
  • Assist with or lead the design, planning, and field supervision of geophysical surveys.
  • Coordinate and oversee geophysical contractors, including supporting contractor selection, monitoring performance, reviewing deliverables, and ensuring work is completed safely, on schedule, and to required quality standards.
  • Collaborate with geologists, engineers, and technical specialists to integrate geophysical information into exploration programs.
  • Identify opportunities to improve geophysical workflows, data quality, and technical processes.
  • Prepare technical summaries, reports, and presentations for internal stakeholders.
  • Comply with all company health, safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements while promoting a strong safety culture.
  • Perform other related duties as required.

Job Qualifications and Skills

  • Bachelor's degree in Geophysics, Earth Sciences, or a related discipline. A Master's degree is considered an asset.
  • Experience in mineral exploration, mining, or applied geophysics is considered an asset. Candidates with a range of experience, from recent graduates to experienced professionals, are encouraged to apply.
  • Registered, or eligible for registration, with APEGS as a Professional Geoscientist (P.Geo.), Professional Engineer (P.Eng.), Geoscientist-in-Training (G.I.T.), or Engineer-in-Training (E.I.T.), as applicable.
  • Knowledge of geophysical survey methods and associated datasets, including electromagnetic (EM), induced polarization/direct current (IP/DC), magnetics, gravity, and magnetotellurics (MT).
  • Experience with geophysical processing, modelling, and interpretation software such as Oasis Montaj, Geoscience Analyst, ArcGIS, or similar platforms.
  • Experience with GIS, database management, and programming or scripting (e.g., Python) is considered an asset.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and technical interpretation skills.
  • Effective planning, organization, and project coordination abilities.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within a multidisciplinary team.
  • Willingness to travel to field locations and work in remote environments as required.

Compensation and Benefits

We offer a competitive salary range based on experience and qualifications. Annual discretionary short term incentive award at a percentage of base salary, rewarding exceptional contributions to team and company success.

  • Employer paid health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Life and disability insurance
  • RRSP with company match

Eldorado Gold Saskatchewan is committed to building a skilled and diverse workforce as we move into our next phase of growth. Indigenous applicants are encouraged to self-declare when submitting applications and resumes. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, you must be legally able to work in Canada.

The McIlvenna Bay Project site is a drug and alcohol-free workplace. Due to the safety-sensitive nature of this position and the remote work environment, candidates must successfully complete a pre-employment medical assessment, which includes drug and alcohol testing, as a condition of employment.

Deadline for applications to be submitted is: July 20, 2026
