Mining Geology jobs

Job Description: Geologist

Position: Geologist

Project: HEO 240 MW Hydro Electric Project

Location: Project Site, Arunachal Pradesh

Employment Type: Full-time, Site-based

Experience Required: 7 to 10 years (Targeting ~7 years)

Qualification

• M.Sc. in Geology (Mandatory requirement).

• Strong theoretical and practical foundation in structural geology, lithostratigraphy, and field mapping techniques.

Experience Overview

• Minimum 7 years of post-qualification field experience in geological mapping, surface and subsurface data collection, and geotechnical/rock mass assessments, preferably within large-scale infrastructure, mining, or hydropower projects in complex mountainous regions (such as the Himalayas).

Key Responsibilities

• Field Mapping & Face Logging: Conduct rigorous surface and underground geological mapping (rock outcrops, quarry sites, tunnel faces, and dam foundations) and maintain accurate lithological and structural logs.

• Structural & Rock Mass Analysis: Measure and analyze structural data (joints, faults, shear zones, dip/strike) and evaluate rock mass quality using standard empirical rating systems to understand ground behavior.

• Core Drilling & Logging: Oversee exploratory core drilling programs, perform detailed physical core logging, and systematically collect representative rock and soil samples for laboratory testing.

• Geological Hazard Identification: Spot and evaluate potential geological risks early—such as weak zones, active fault lines, unpredicted seepage, or unstable slopes—and provide critical inputs to the project management team.

• Data Correlation & Mapping: Correlate surface mapping data with subsurface drilling logs to update geological cross-sections and structural models.

• Documentation & Reporting: Maintain comprehensive daily geological records, photographic logs, and technical reports for audits and client reviews.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with civil engineering and site execution teams, serving as the primary authority on ground conditions to help bridge science with construction realities.
