Contract Geologist – RC Drilling Campaign

About the Company
This role sits with an established mining operation supporting ongoing production and resource definition through targeted drilling campaigns.

With multiple programmes in the pipeline, there is potential for contract extensions or future campaigns beyond the initial scope.

About the Role
We’re looking for a Contract Geologist to support a 3-month RC drilling campaign on an 8:6 roster, dayshift only.
