SalaryGeologist/Geologist Technician
A person applying for a geologist position is preferred to have a degree in Geology or Geoscience. They should also be comfortable with getting their hands dirty – literally – to collect samples and specimens from sites of interest. Other important geologist skills include an aptitude in data analysis and research, as well as savviness in using technological tools, both software and technological tools.
Job Brief
We are looking for a geologist to analyze geological data and plan our geology-related projects.
In this job, you’ll get to visit sites of interest to study the earth and work on mineral extraction and mining procedures. This means you’ll need excellent organizational and project management skills. You should be comfortable with data and geologic modeling, as well as technological tools. Teamwork and communication skills are also important with engineers, geophysicists or other scientists.
If you meet the criteria in the job description, and you also have a passion for the earth and its intricacies, we’d like to meet you.
