The Opportunity:

Are you a geoscience student seeking an exciting opportunity that offers a mix of lab work and field experience? Join a company culture that fosters a fun working environment, developing meaningful relationships, and continuous learning

This opportunity provides a unique chance to spend 4 months in the core lab and 4 months on our mine site. You'll analyze rock formations in the lab and then apply your knowledge in a mine site setting. This hands-on approach ensures a well-rounded learning experience, combining theoretical understanding with practical skills development. In addition, you will work alongside experienced geologists who can mentor you along the way while gaining valuable on-the-job training such as working with 3D modeling software, field tours in the active mining area and learning to communicate geological concepts to a diverse audience.

If you are passionate about rocks, like the outdoors, and do not mind getting your hands dirty, this opportunity is perfect for you

  • Term length: 4 or 8 months
  • Term start: January or May 2025
  • Job location: Calgary, AB or Fort McMurray, AB at our Horizon mine site
  • Shift schedule: 5 x 2 - 8 hours (Monday - Friday, Calgary based) OR 4 x 3 - 10 hours (Monday - Thursday, site based)

Key Accountabilities:

  • Work as an integral member of the production geology and hydrogeology group involved with the day-to-day operations of the active mine. Spend time in the field investigating the changing excavation faces, validating the geological model, and reviewing the mine plan in action.
  • Get hands-on experience with the core-drilling program by working with the drilling department to gather all the information required to characterize the deposit, plan and execute.
  • Learn the detailed stratigraphy of the McMurray Formation by describing and sampling core from the winter drilling program. Skills acquired will include geophysical log interpretation, depositional environments and sampling techniques used to support a mining operation.
  • Advance your technical development while contributing to the goals of the team by learning about mine planning, reserves reconciliation, mining operations, geotechnical and hydrogeological considerations.

What You Bring to The Role:

  • Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's degree program in Geology.
  • Valid Class 5 driver’s license
  • A pre-employment drug screening test must be successfully completed
  • Required to be physically and mentally fit for work

  • Passionate about rocks and enjoy the outdoors

What We Offer:
