Senior Geophysicist

About the Opportunity
Our client's geophysical services team supports subsurface exploration by running geophysical surveys for clients across mineral exploration, groundwater, geothermal, oil and gas, and carbon storage.

They're looking for a Senior Geophysicist who knows field data acquisition, crew management, geophysical instrumentation, data processing, data modeling, and interpretation firsthand. That expertise should cover one or more of the following survey types: IP/Resistivity, CSAMT, MT, or EM (surface and borehole). Candidates with a background in gravity or magnetic surveys will also be considered. Seismic experience alone isn't a fit for this role right now.
Experience conducting geophysical surveys in the mining exploration industry is highly preferred. Our client works across hard rock mineral prospects, including porphyry, skarn, epithermal, Carlin type, VMS, and orogenic or shear hosted deposits. That background will help you communicate effectively with the client base.

What You'll Do

Work with clients to understand exploration goals and design surveys
QC and process data as it comes in from the field, or assist project geophysicists with this effort
Model data and deliver preliminary results to clients in a timely fashion
Deliver final data and the data acquisition report to clients in a timely fashion
Complete interpretation reports

What You Bring

Bachelor's degree or higher in Geophysics (other degrees may be considered when combined with relevant experience)

Experience

10+ years of experience in geophysics
Prior field experience
