Core Logging Geologist
About The Position
The Core Logging Geologist identifies and characterizes geologic materials encountered in drill core, with a primary focus on the recovery and characterization of cored kaolin clays. The role learns and follows Reserves Analysis Lab policies and procedures for testing incoming drill core samples, and supports geologic interpretation and clay-quality grading to help inform mine and mill operations. The position requires consistent adherence to safety practices and established logging and laboratory procedures to produce reliable data. Field core-logging work takes place in varying climate conditions; most laboratory duties are performed in a climate-controlled environment. The work may involve hazardous chemicals and gases, noise, and dust, along with physical activity such as lifting, standing, walking, and climbing.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Geology, Environmental Sciences, Biology, or another Earth Science.
- Ability to work safely with a team to achieve common objectives.
- Cleanliness and organization to ensure sample integrity.
- Computer proficiency with Microsoft Suite, basic web navigation, data entry, and AutoCAD/GIS.
- Ability to safely and effectively operate equipment and instruments used to test clay samples.
- Ability to lift up to 60 pounds on occasion, stand for most of the workday, walk long distances, and climb stairs and ladders.
Responsibilities
- Lead by example in following safe work practices, treating safety as the top priority in field and laboratory work.
- Identify and characterize geologic materials encountered in core, especially cored kaolin clays.
- Learn and implement Reserves Analysis Lab policies and testing procedures for incoming drill core samples.
- Assist geologists and mine supervisors with geologic interpretations based on stratigraphy and sedimentology in current or future mine areas.
- Assist in grading clay qualities based on drill logs and test results to support mill supervisors.
- Follow established procedures for core logging and laboratory testing to produce quality, reliable data.
- Maintain cleanliness and organization to protect sample integrity from drill rigs to the laboratory.
