  • 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
