Junior Geologists

Burgex Mining Consultants is currently looking for Junior Geologists for full-time and part-time work. If you like being outdoors and hiking this is an opportunity to get paid for doing those activities. We are looking for individuals who have a strong work ethic, sound understanding of geology, a willingness to do field work doing labor, and work well in a team setting.

The Jr. Geologist works with minimum direct supervision, providing a range of logistic and operations support to the team. The role encompasses both generalist field support tasks (e.g., camp set-up, basic maintenance, safety procedures) and specialized tasks (e.g., know how to use a GPS, GIS mapping, sampling, geological mapping). Burgex is willing to train on technical specifics, but an ideal candidate will already possess the skills and requirements listed below.

The work environment can vary widely based on geographic region and terrain. The position will be primarily field work with the possibility of some office work. Field activities will consist of soil, rock, and sediment sampling, geological mapping and interpretation, geological logging and interpretation of core and RC drilling, and possibly claim staking.
