Perform and drive geologic research and subsurface exploration activities across diverse geologic settings, including igneous and metamorphic terrains.

Conduct geospatial data analysis and produce geological maps using ArcGIS or equivalent GIS software.

Prepare detailed technical reports, papers, presentations, and patent applications.

Deliver presentations and briefings to internal teams, stakeholders, and external partners.

Support the development and evaluation of new technologies and methodologies, particularly related to geological hydrogen and subsurface exploration.

Collaborate in multidisciplinary teams involving geochemists, geophysicists, stratigraphers, engineers, and data scientists.

Compile, interpret, and integrate multiple types of data across geochemical, geophysical, and geological disciplines.

Minimum Qualifications:

Master’s degree (or higher) in Geosciences, Geology, Earth Sciences, or a closely related field.

At least 3 years of relevant professional experience (e.g., hydrogeology, geothermal, oil & gas, or mining industry preferred).

Proficiency in GIS platforms (ArcGIS Pro or equivalent) and geologic modeling software.

Demonstrated technical writing skills and experience presenting complex geoscience concepts.

Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and a collaborative mindset.

Experience interpreting and integrating multivariable data sets.

Preferred Qualifications:

Ph.D. in Geochemistry, Hydrogeology, or Earth Sciences is a plus.

Experience in geologic or geochemical sampling or modeling of subsurface energy systems (e.g., petroleum systems modeling).

Familiarity with IP and technology development processes (e.g., prior experience with patent applications) is highly desirable.

Demonstrated success in a fast-paced industry.

Proficiency in data analysis software.
