About the job Geo Engineering - Geologist #4

Build Your Career Where Geology Drives the Mine

At PT. Freeport Indonesia, geology is more than measuring faults' slickensides and collecting fancy rock specimen. It is about understanding the orebody, managing the mining risk, and providing insights that directly influence mine planning, production, resource evaluation, and operational decisions.

Join PT Freeport Indonesia and work with a world-class mineral system across exploration, development, production, and reclamation. You will gain hands-on field experience, use modern geological tools, and collaborate with Geology, Engineering, Geotechnical, and Operations teams in a safety-first environment.

What You Will Do

• As a Geologist, you will collect, analyze, document, and communicate geological information that helps the operation understand the orebody and make better mining decisions.
• Your responsibilities will include:
• Conduct geological mapping, face inspections, sampling, core logging, and field observations in surface and underground mining areas.
• Identify and document rock types, minerals, alteration, mineralization, geological structures, and features that may influence mining.
• Collect accurate, high-quality geological data in accordance with approved procedures and QA/QC requirements.
• Maintain reliable geological records and databases and prepare clear routine and ad hoc technical reports.
• Translate field observations into practical geological information that supports interpretation and operational decisions.
• Support geological modelling, resource and reserve evaluation, mine planning, and production activities.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to solve geological and operational challenges.
• Participate in petrographic, PIMA, XRD, and other mineralogical or analytical programs.
