Python Job: Geoscientist

Job Description:

Bigger vision. Smarter data. Smaller footprint. Welcome to a new era of mining intelligence.

At Veracio, we’re unlocking the value and utility of scarce resources, and it all starts with the orebody. Whether that’s unlocking hard-to-find minerals that are critical for a sustainable future. Or liberating time through the automation workflows from exploration through to production geoscience. Or the workforce, with cloud connected systems keeping the world's brightest minds at your fingertips. It’s through a fusion of science and technology that we’re helping miners leverage their orebody knowledge to realise more opportunities while mitigating the social and environmental impact of their decisions.

We are growing and looking to add a local Geoscientist to our Adelaide team. This role is a key technical resource in rolling out, developing and supporting our field deployable geochemical technology in their respective region.

Tools include Veracio’s Truscan logging trailer deployed in either the drilling workflow or core storage facility. This role is expected to provide technical support for the calibration, structural and chemical understanding that supports Truscan and other Veracio tools, working alongside our mining clients. As Veracio continues to develop a suite of new tools that require internal and external end user training and support, learning and training is a significant part of this role.

This role may at times require working rosters that align with end user requirements and is suited to a Geologist, Geochemist or Geophysicist with hands on field experience.

Want to know a little more about the role? Day-to-day responsibilities include:

Use and deployment of GDS geotechnical and geochemical tools to end user satisfaction
Training of drill crews and field technicians to operate geochemical analytical equipment
Provide feedback on technology innovation and documentation
Trouble shooting technical issues tied to geochemical analytical equipment
Geochemical technology hardware and software maintenance as required
Review and QA/QC of all geochemical data generated
Manage working relationships with drill crews, geologists, mine supervisors, Veracio team and management

A few other things we’re looking for:

Bachelor degree in Geology, Geochemistry and/or Geophysics
Background and/or understanding of XRF related hardware and software
XRF technology experience tied to hard rock geochemistry
Understanding of hard rock geochemistry and Ore deposit knowledge
Ability to work with and engage a diverse group of stakeholders
Mine site related field experience
Some of our client sites/travel requirements will require a COVID-19 Vaccine Digital Certificate/ Immunisation Record.

Other desirable experience:

Basic mechanical and electronics skills
Basic SQL, R Studio and Python knowledge
Ability to adapt to new IT systems
Geological Lab experience
