**Travel**: This position is field-based, requiring residence at the Cote Gold site on a rotational basis. Extensive travel is expected both to and within the field, encompassing various work sites. Travel on foot, motorized vehicle, aircraft, and boat will be required.

**Field Work**: Physical demands include lifting and walking lines and trails in rugged and extreme conditions and altitudes, especially during field assignments.

**Core Shack**: The role involves physical demands related to moving core samples within the core shack.
