Job summary

Surbana Jurong is seeking a Geologist for a major hydroelectric project in Arunachal Pradesh. The role requires 7–10 years of post-qualification field experience in geological mapping and geotechnical assessments within challenging terrains, and an M.Sc.

in Geology. You will lead field mapping, rock mass analysis, core drilling oversight, and collaboration with civil teams on ground conditions at site-based operations.

Qualifications

• M.Sc. in Geology is mandatory.
• Strong theoretical and practical foundation in structural geology, lithostratigraphy, and field mapping techniques.

Responsibilities

• Field Mapping & Face Logging: conduct surface and underground geological mapping and maintain logs.
• Structural & Rock Mass Analysis: measure and analyze structural data and evaluate rock mass quality.
• Core Drilling & Logging: oversee exploratory core drilling, perform core logging, collect samples.
• Geological Hazard Identification: spot and evaluate risks early and inform project management.
• Data Correlation & Mapping: correlate surface data with subsurface logs to update models.
• Documentation & Reporting: maintain daily geological records and reports for audits.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: work with civil engineering and site teams as the ground-conditions expert.

Job description

Geologist Position: Geologist Project: HEO 240 MW Hydro Electric Project Location: Project Site, Arunachal Pradesh Employment Type: Full-time, Site-based Experience Required: 7 to 10 years (Targeting ~7 years)

Qualification

• M.Sc. in Geology (Mandatory requirement).
• Strong theoretical and practical foundation in structural geology, lithostratigraphy, and field mapping techniques.

Experience Overview

• Minimum 7 years of post-qualification field experience in geological mapping, surface and subsurface data collection, and geotechnical/rock mass assessments, preferably within large-scale infrastructure, mining, or hydropower projects in complex mountainous regions (such as the Himalayas).

Key Responsibilities

• Field Mapping & Face Logging: Conduct rigorous surface and underground geological mapping (rock outcrops, quarry sites, tunnel faces, and dam foundations) and maintain accurate lithological and structural logs.
• Structural & Rock Mass Analysis: Measure and analyze structural data (joints, faults, shear zones, dip/strike) and evaluate rock mass quality using standard empirical rating systems to understand ground behavior.
• Core Drilling & Logging: Oversee exploratory core drilling programs, perform detailed physical core logging, and systematically collect representative rock and soil samples for laboratory testing.
• Geological Hazard Identification: Spot and evaluate potential geological risks early-such as weak zones, active fault lines, unpredicted seepage, or unstable slopes-and provide critical inputs to the project management team.
• Data Correlation & Mapping: Correlate surface mapping data with subsurface drilling logs to update geological cross-sections and structural models.
• Documentation & Reporting: Maintain comprehensive daily geological records, photographic logs, and technical reports for audits and client reviews.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with civil engineering and site execution teams, serving as the primary authority on ground conditions to help bridge science with construction realities.

At Surbana Jurong, we put talent, hard work, teamwork and a fun workplace together to approach problems and solve them creatively and collaboratively. Join us in making a positive impact on the world!
