• Report directly to the C-Suite on project progress, technical findings, budgets, and risks.
• Prepare clear, concise technical reports, presentations, and briefing materials for executive-level audiences.
• Translate complex geological data into actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders.

Operational & Field Execution

• Manage day-to-day field operations, schedules, and budgets for assigned projects.
• Travel to project and site locations as required to oversee critical program phases and maintain field presence.
• Uphold health, safety, environmental, and community engagement standards across all field activities.

Qualifications and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Geology, Earth Sciences, or a related discipline; Master’s degree an asset.
• 5–8 years of practical, progressive experience in mineral exploration and/or resource development.
• Experience across multiple deposit types or commodities is an asset, given exposure to a diverse project portfolio.
• Working knowledge of NI 43-101 (or equivalent) reporting requirements and standards.
• Experience with modern exploration tools and methodologies, including geophysics, geochemistry, and drilling programs.
• Professional designation (P.Geo. or equivalent, or eligibility for registration) required or strongly preferred.
• Willingness and ability to travel to project and site locations as required.

Core Competencies

• Strong technical and analytical geological skills
• Sound judgment in project evaluation and risk assessment
• Clear, confident communication with executive stakeholders
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and priorities
• Comfortable operating in both field and office environments
• Collegial, collaborative approach to teamwork
