Geophysical Analyst Jobs

Our Vancouver based client is using the energy from supernova explosions, in space, to provide mineral density visualization up to 1km beneath the Earth's surface. They are expanding their analyst team and are building out their analyst team due to business growth.

This company is a world pioneer, providing reliable geophysical insight that helps geologists understand what lies beneath our feet and helps companies reduce cost and risk, saving time, and minimizing environmental impact.

The company currently is a hybrid model of in-office and remote work but will not consider candidates wishing to be 100% remote.

The role

Our clients geophysical analysts have a deep grounding in geology that helps them bring client projects to fruition by developing and running simulations; processing and analyzing newly acquired data; creating multi dataset inversions; and identifying new opportunities as they arise. In this role, you will ensure project objectives are being achieved at a high level of quality and provide technically feasible, cost-effective solutions to our customers.

Specifically, the role involves:

• Assessing feasibility of technology application to as-yet-unstudied use-cases and deposits
• Running site simulations as part of proofs of concept for prospective customers.
• Taking responsibility for the overall technical quality and proficiency for data processing and analysis.
• Interpreting results effectively.
• Developing, refining and/or applying standard operating procedures for data management, processing, analysis, storage and reporting.
• Performing geophysical data processing and analysis.
• Complete data usability assessments.

Qualifications

• Must have a strong understanding of geology and experience with the theoretical and practical aspects of mineral exploration specifically, and subsurface insights in general.
• Intermediate analyst: 7-8 years’ experience
• PGeo designation desirable.
• Intermediate / Senior analyst: MSc or higher preferred. Sub-specialization in data science is a strong asset but not required
• Senior analyst: 10+ year’s experience and demonstrated depth of experience in developing new geoscience analysis products and tools.
• Must have geophysical analysis experience analyzing and interpreting field data and running forward modeling / simulations with provided data sets. You have a strong understanding of geophysical methods, and you know how geophysical inversions work and the subtleties that are involved.
• Must have demonstrated experience and a high level of proficiency for using geophysical analysis software (ArcGIS, QGIS, AutoCAD, GoCAD, LeapFrog, Geosoft Oasis Montaj, among others).
• Degree (min) in geophysics, geology, closely related field or equivalent demonstrated proficiency with advanced geophysical methods and concepts.
• Junior analyst: 2-3 years’ experience
• Personable style with strong communication and presentation skills.
• Software languages: Python (intermediate required, expert is an asset); C++ (intermediate) is also an asset though not required; must be comfortable in both Linux and Windows environments
