Position Summary
The Senior Geologist is a senior technical role based in Ore Group’s Toronto office, reporting directly to the C-Suite. This position provides technical leadership across multiple Ore Group exploration and development projects, and plays a key role in evaluating new opportunities for corporate growth. The role requires 5–8 years of progressive, hands-on experience across the exploration and resource development lifecycle, with periodic travel to project and site locations as programs require.
Key Responsibilities
Project Technical Leadership
- Plan, execute, and oversee technical work programs - mapping, sampling, geophysics, geochemistry, and drilling - across multiple Ore Group projects.
- Interpret exploration and geological data to guide targeting, drill planning, and resource definition.
- Ensure all technical work meets or exceeds industry best practices and regulatory standards (e.g., NI 43-101 or equivalent).
- Supervise and mentor junior geologists, technicians, and field or external consultants on assigned projects.
Project Evaluation & New Opportunities
- Conduct technical due diligence and geological evaluation of new property and acquisition opportunities.
- Prepare technical assessments, risk reviews, and recommendations to support executive decision-making on new opportunities.
- Support generative exploration efforts across the portfolio, including target generation and prospect ranking.
Reporting & Executive Collaboration
- Report directly to the C-Suite on project progress, technical findings, budgets, and risks.
- Prepare clear, concise technical reports, presentations, and briefing materials for executive-level audiences.
- Translate complex geological data into actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders.
Operational & Field Execution
- Manage day-to-day field operations, schedules, and budgets for assigned projects.
- Travel to project and site locations as required to oversee critical program phases and maintain field presence.
- Uphold health, safety, environmental, and community engagement standards across all field activities.
Qualifications and Experience
- Bachelor’s degree in Geology, Earth Sciences, or a related discipline; Master’s degree an asset.
- 5–8 years of practical, progressive experience in mineral exploration and/or resource development.
- Experience across multiple deposit types or commodities is an asset, given exposure to a diverse project portfolio.
- Working knowledge of NI 43-101 (or equivalent) reporting requirements and standards.
- Experience with modern exploration tools and methodologies, including geophysics, geochemistry, and drilling programs.
- Professional designation (P.Geo. or equivalent, or eligibility for registration) required or strongly preferred.
- Willingness and ability to travel to project and site locations as required.
Core Competencies
- Strong technical and analytical geological skills
- Sound judgment in project evaluation and risk assessment
- Clear, confident communication with executive stakeholders
- Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and priorities
- Comfortable operating in both field and office environments
- Collegial, collaborative approach to teamwork
This role is suited to a technically strong, versatile geologist who moves fluidly between hands-on project work and higher-level opportunity evaluation, and who is comfortable engaging directly with senior executives. The Company offers a competitive compensation package commensurate with experience, including base salary and performance-based incentives.
