Job description

Senior/Principal Structural Geologist – Vancouver, BC, Canada

SRK Consulting is an independent, international consulting practice, providing globally integrated consulting services to the international mining and metals sector.

We are seeking a Senior/Principal Structural Geologist.

Description Of Responsibilities

As a senior‑to‑principal level consultant within our Vancouver‑based geology team, your general responsibilities will include belt‑to‑deposit‑scale structural analysis and interpretation of mineralized systems. Our work incorporates field analysis, advanced 3‑D modeling, and geophysical interpretation applied from early exploration through mining project development (including resource and engineering studies) to operational support.

An important aspect of working for SRK will be the development of your consultancy. We encourage all engineers and scientists to grow their consulting skills under the broad SRK umbrella; the successful applicant will therefore be expected to establish and maintain client relationships.

Essential Requirements

• A postgraduate degree specializing in the structural geology of ore deposits, preference for PhD
• Applied structural geology experience in an exploration or operational capacity, including field‑oriented, belt‑to‑deposit‑scale structural analysis and the interpretation of mineralized systems
• A strong theoretical background with demonstrated competence in defining applied solutions
• Proficiency with GIS and 3‑D modeling software
• Professional registration or eligibility to obtain it
• Proven ability to work independently and as part of a team to generate, implement, and complete projects
• An established network within the mining industry
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Dynamic and energetic leadership skills, including the ability to mentor younger consultants

Additional Beneficial Experience

• Experience with modern, implicit modelling tools and/or geophysical interpretation
• Prior consulting experience

In this position, you will work in multidisciplinary teams on projects around the world and may be required to travel internationally. This role involves working in multidisciplinary teams on a range of projects both nationally and overseas; international travel may form a significant part of the role.

Compensation and Benefits

• An attractive compensation package.
• Diversity of projects and clients within a non‑hierarchical consultancy environment.
• Opportunity to purchase shares in the company; the SRK Group is an independent group, owned by its employees.
