Our company is seeking a highly experienced and motivated Senior Exploration Geologist to work with our dynamic and fully remote team. This role is pivotal in identifying and evaluating new mineral prospects globally, with a strong focus on South African resources. As a remote-first organization, we embrace cutting-edge digital collaboration tools and flexible working arrangements to foster innovation and productivity. The ideal candidate will possess a deep understanding of geological principles, proficiency in advanced geological modeling software, and a proven track record in grassroots exploration and project generation. You will be responsible for a broad range of activities, including the planning and execution of exploration programs, data acquisition and interpretation (geochemical, geophysical, drilling), geological mapping, structural analysis, and the preparation of technical reports. This role demands a proactive approach to risk assessment and mitigation, effective communication with stakeholders. Extensive travel for site visits may be required periodically, but the core of your work will be conducted from your remote location. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about discovery, possess excellent analytical skills, and can work autonomously with minimal supervision. A Bachelor's degree in Geology or a related field is essential, with a Master's or PhD being highly advantageous. A minimum of 5-7 years of relevant experience in mineral exploration is required. Proficiency in industry-standard software such as Leapfrog Geo, ArcGIS, and database management systems is crucial. Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English are a must, and fluency in other relevant languages is a plus. If you are a seasoned geologist looking for a challenging and rewarding remote opportunity to make a significant impact on mineral discovery, we encourage you to apply. Join a company that values innovation, sustainability, and a truly global, remote-first work culture.
