Role Summary

This is a hands-on, field-intensive geological role. You will be involved in mineral and ore exploration, geological mapping, geophysical and geochemical surveys, mine site assessments, and related activities across national and international project locations. You will work directly with senior geologists, mining engineers, and project teams, contributing to the full lifecycle of exploration and mining projects. This role demands a willingness to work in remote areas and travel extensively, including to international destinations such as Africa, Australia, the Middle East, and beyond.

If you are someone who thrives in the field, is passionate about earth sciences, and wants to build a career working across global mineral exploration projects, this role was written for you.

What You Will Be Doing

• Conduct geological mapping, field surveys, and site reconnaissance for mineral and ore exploration projects.
• Assist in the identification, assessment, and evaluation of mineral deposits including metals, non-metals, and industrial minerals.
• Collect, log, and analyse rock, soil, and drill core samples as part of systematic exploration programs.
• Support and carry out geophysical surveys (magnetic, gravity, seismic, resistivity, and related methods) to interpret subsurface geological structures.
• Assist in geochemical sampling programs, data compilation, and interpretation of geochemical anomalies.
• Participate in and support drilling programs including RC (Reverse Circulation), diamond, and rotary drilling, along with core logging and drill hole supervision.
• Prepare detailed geological logs, field notes, maps, cross-sections, and technical reports for internal and client use.
• Assist in the preparation of resource estimates, geological models, and mine planning data using relevant software.
• Maintain and ensure quality control of geological data, samples, and assay results throughout the project lifecycle.
• Work alongside mining engineers and site teams on active mine sites, open-pit and underground operations as required.
• Monitor geological conditions on site, flagging any hazards, structural risks, or significant observations to the project lead.
• Comply with all site safety protocols, HSE regulations, and company policies at all times.
• Travel to national and international project sites as required, including remote and logistically challenging locations.
• Be willing to relocate temporarily or permanently to project sites across Africa, Australia, the Middle East, or other regions.

Must-Have Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree (B.Sc. or B.Tech.) in Geology, Applied Geology, Earth Sciences, Mining Geology, or a closely related discipline.
• Minimum 1 year of practical, hands-on experience in geological fieldwork, mineral exploration, or mining operations.
• Working knowledge of mineral and ore geology including metals (gold, copper, iron, zinc, lithium, etc.), non-metals, and industrial minerals.
• Understanding of geological and mining activities including exploration, resource estimation, mine geology, and grade control.
• Familiarity with geophysical survey methods such as magnetic, gravity, seismic, IP (induced polarisation), and EM surveys.
• Knowledge of geochemical sampling and interpretation techniques including soil, rock chip, and stream sediment sampling.
• Ability to read, interpret, and produce geological maps, cross-sections, borehole logs, and structural geology data.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for technical report writing and cross-functional project collaboration.
• Physically fit and medically cleared to work in remote, outdoor, and challenging field environments.
• Willingness and full readiness to travel nationally and internationally for project assignments — including to Africa, Australia, and the Middle East.
• Willingness to relocate to remote or project-based locations for extended durations as required.
• Strong work ethic, field discipline, adaptability, and ability to work both independently and as part of a team in remote settings.
• Valid passport or ability to obtain one; openness to international work assignments (visa and travel documentation support provided by the company).

Good to Have

• Postgraduate degree (M.Sc.) in Geology, Mining Geology, Geophysics, Geochemistry, or related specialisation.
• Hands-on experience with geological and mining software such as Leapfrog Geo, Micromine, Surpac, Datamine, ArcGIS, or QGIS.
• Knowledge of resource estimation methodologies and familiarity with JORC, NI 43-101, or SAMREC reporting codes.
• Experience with remote sensing tools, GIS-based geological mapping, and satellite image interpretation.
• Familiarity with laboratory procedures including sample preparation, XRF, fire assay, or other assay techniques.
• Prior international field experience, particularly in Africa, the Middle East, or Australia.
• Basic knowledge of mining regulations, environmental compliance, and HSE standards applicable to field operations.
• Experience with drone-based geological surveys or photogrammetry for terrain modelling.
• Knowledge of statistical data analysis tools such as Excel (advanced), Iogas, or equivalent platforms.

What We Offer You

• Market-benchmarked, competitive salary commensurate with your qualifications and experience — no fixed cap.
• Full visa and travel documentation support for all international project assignments across Africa, Australia, the Middle East, and beyond.
• Company payroll position with all statutory benefits and employment protections.
• Exposure to diverse, high-impact geological projects spanning multiple commodities and continents.
• Opportunity to work alongside experienced senior geologists and international mining professionals.
• Accelerated career growth trajectory for high-performing field geologists with expanding project responsibility.
• Project-based allowances, field accommodation, and logistics support for remote assignments.
• A culture that values technical rigour, field experience, and the courage to work in the world’s most exciting geological frontiers.

Important Note on Travel & Relocation

This role inherently requires a high degree of mobility. Successful candidates must be genuinely comfortable with, and committed to, extended periods of travel and working in remote areas — both within India and internationally. Project durations may vary from a few weeks to several months at a time. We fully supports all international travel logistics including visa processing, travel, and accommodation for project assignments. This is not a desk job — it is a career for geologists who want to see the world through the lens of the earth beneath it.
