  • Interpret and integrate data from drilling, sampling, and geophysical programs.
  • Prepare and review technical reports, geological interpretations, and resource documentation.
  • Provide technical oversight and mentorship where applicable to junior staff or consultants.

Ideal Candidate Requirements

  • Degree in Geology, Geological Engineering, or Mining Engineering.
  • 10+ years of experience in geological modeling, mine development, or exploration, ideally within solution mining or evaporite deposit environments.
  • Familiarity with potash, salt, or brine-based extraction processes.
  • Strong background in resource modeling, geological software, and technical reporting.
  • Experience in consulting, mining operations, or owner-side project development.
  • Excellent analytical and communication skills, with ability to integrate geological data into engineering design.
  • Availability to travel occasionally to site in Utah.

Why This Opportunity

  • Key technical role supporting a flagship North American potash project.
  • In-office position based in downtown Vancouver.
  • Option to join as a full-time employee or independent contractor.
  • Competitive compensation aligned with project phase and experience level.
  • Direct exposure to solution mining and large-scale resource development within a growing organization.
