Career

About the Position:
We offer an opportunity for professional growth in a stable company specializing in geological exploration. If you are eager to apply your knowledge in a dynamic environment and ready for exciting challenges, this position is for you!

Responsibilities:

• Geological Exploration: Carrying out tasks in accordance with company regulations and technical assignments.
• Field Assignments: Executing geologist's tasks related to organizing the work of a field team conducting lithochemical surveys on secondary dispersion halos.
• Supervision: Organizing and supervising the work of sample collectors.
• Quality Control: Ensuring sample purity, monitoring correct sampling procedures, conducting field sample preparation (sieving), assessing material grain size and moisture, checking for organic impurities, and documenting sample locations with photographs.
• Laboratory Processes: Packing, sorting, cataloging, and organizing sample shipments.
• Equipment Handling: Performing measurements using a portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer.
• Documentation: Preparing work orders for laboratories, conducting geological prospecting routes, processing route observations, and compiling sampling databases.

Requirements:

• Education: Higher or specialized secondary professional education in geology.
• Experience: At least 2 years of experience in geological research.
• Field Experience: Participation in gold ore deposit exploration (lithochemical surveys, geological traverses, hand sample collection).
• Equipment Skills: Ability to use a Garmin GPS navigator, geological compass, and mobile navigation apps (Field Maps, Qfield, Avenza Maps).
• Software Knowledge: Experience with ArcGIS, QGIS, and MapInfo; knowledge of field geological exploration organization is an advantage.
• Physical Fitness: Excellent physical condition, endurance, and no medical contraindications for fieldwork.
• Additional Experience: Work with a portable X-ray fluorescence analyzer (XRF); experience in office-based geological work (compiling factual material maps, geological maps, statistical processing of geochemical research results, constructing dispersion halo maps) is an advantage.
• Language Skills: High-level proficiency in Russian; knowledge of Kazakh and English is a plus.
• Preferred Experience: Experience in geological support for mining operations, drilling, and extraction is welcomed.

Your Responsibilities:

• Conducting geological exploration strictly in accordance with company regulations and technical assignments.
• Organizing and supervising the mobilization, accommodation, and transportation of the field team conducting lithochemical surveys on secondary dispersion halos.
• Leading a team of geological technicians and sample collectors.
• Ensuring the quality of sample collection: monitoring contamination, sample preparation, evaluating material grain size and moisture, analyzing impurities, and documenting sample locations with photographs.
• Preparing work orders for laboratory analysis.
• Supervising measurements using a portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer.
• Conducting geological prospecting routes and processing field observations.
• Creating sampling databases and compiling factual material maps using GIS software.
• Organizing the transfer of samples to the customer with official documentation.
• Preparing and writing detailed reports on completed work.

Our Requirements:

• Higher professional education in geology.
• At least 3 years of relevant work experience.
• Practical experience in fieldwork related to gold ore deposit exploration (lithochemical surveys, geological traverses, hand sample collection).
• Ability to work with office-based geological data: compiling factual material maps, geological maps, statistical processing of geochemical study results, constructing dispersion halo maps.
• Proficiency in ArcGIS and MapInfo software.
• Confident use of Garmin GPS navigator, geological compass, and mobile navigation applications (Field Maps, Qfield, Avenza Maps).
• Experience working with a portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer.
• Excellent physical fitness, endurance, and no medical contraindications for fieldwork.
• Experience in geological support for mining operations, drilling, and extraction is an advantage.
