Senior Project Geologist

Hades Mining is building the world’s first tech-enabled extraction company. Our first core technology is laser drilling, designed to make drilling materially faster, cheaper, and more environmentally compatible. We are now building a pipeline of high-quality extraction opportunities in Europe and beyond.

We are hiring a Senior Geologist to help us find, screen, and evaluate new projects. You will be part of a cross-functional team working closely with engineering, regulatory, and finance to turn early data into clear technical and economic decisions.

• Source and evaluate extraction opportunities (critical minerals + energy)
• Build first-pass geological models and a clear view on deposit type, controls, risks, and upside
• Review and interpret datasets (historic reports, drill logs, assays, geophysics, maps, core photos, QP-style summaries)
• Define and drive early-stage diligence: data room requests, gap analysis, work programs, sampling/drilling concepts
• Translate geology into decision-ready outputs for investment and partnership decisions
• Work with regulatory and finance to assess permitting feasibility, timelines, and economic sensitivity
• Support partner conversations with a strong technical point of view (operators, agencies, consultants, academics)

• 6+ years experience in economic geology, exploration, resource evaluation, mining due diligence, or consulting
• Strong intuition for deposit types, exploration strategies, and what makes a project viable (or not)
• Comfortable working with imperfect data and high ambiguity, moving fast without lowering quality
• Strong written communication: you can produce crisp memos and explain uncertainty clearly
• Hands‑on mindset, high ownership, and excitement for building from zero in a deep-tech startup
• Based in Munich or willing to relocate (on‑site collaboration is important)

• Experience with European geology, permitting environments, or brownfield datasets
• Exposure to resource estimation workflows (JORC/NI 43‑101 style thinking), geostatistics, or 3D modeling tools
• Background in ISR projects, geothermal subsurface, or project finance interfaces

• A central role in building the project pipeline of a venture‑backed deep‑tech company
• Direct work with founders and senior operators across engineering, finance, and regulatory
• High autonomy, steep learning curve, and real impact from day one
• Competitive compensation (salary + meaningful upside)
