Manager, Structural Geology

POSITION DESCRIPTION – MANAGER, STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY

POSITION OVERVIEW

Reports to: Chief Geoscientist

Location: Vancouver Preferred

While Vancouver, BC is the preferred location, we are open to diverse applicants from across Canada who will be a great addition for our culture at Eldorado on a remote basis.

PURPOSE

At Eldorado, the Exploration team adds new, sustainable gold and base metal resources through both discovery and commercial capture. Leveraging upon Eldorado’s values, we deliver results and mitigate risk through objective, informed decision making; we are motivated to solve problems through curiosity, creativity and innovation; and we ensure that health, safety, and respect for the environment and communities in which we operate are paramount.

POSITION SUMMARY

The Manager, Structural Geology is responsible for leading the structural geology function across Eldorado’s geoscience group. The position provides expert guidance in geological mapping, structural data collection and interpretation, and integration of structural geology into exploration and resource development programs. This role plays a critical part in enhancing geological understanding by providing structural expertise to project generation, search space reduction, target generation, property evaluations, and linking geotechnical and hydrogeological studies to support mine planning.

This role ensures that structural geology interpretations utilize all available geoscience datasets for coherent, integrated approaches to solving problems and developing opportunities.

As a recognized geoscience technical leader, the Manager, Structural Geology has global reach with accountability for structural geology and its integration with wider geoscience technical disciplines across the company. The Manager, Structural Geology liaises between and works closely with Exploration, Technical Services, Projects, Operations and wider stakeholders to provide structural expertise in order to deliver outcomes that ultimately roll up into annual corporate measures.

Demonstrable leadership in health, safety and sustainability, and promotion of Eldorado’s core values, is foundational to the role.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

The Manager, Structural Geology will be responsible for, but not limited to, the following:

Leadership & Strategy:

• Develop, implement and oversee the application of structural geology across the geoscience group including exploration and mine environments and new business opportunities.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to provide structural expertise into key areas of the business (e.g., Exploration, Technical Services, resource modeling, hydrogeology, geotechnical studies and mine planning, and Corporate Development).
• Train and mentor junior geologists and foster technical excellence across the organization.
• Drive the development and implementation of structural geology standards and guidelines and ensure alignment within broader geoscience workflows.
• Support development and implementation of the Exploration strategy and takes accountability for structural geoscience deliverables to the business.

Technical Expertise:

• Conduct and oversee structural mapping, core logging, and interpretation of structural data through desktop analyses and field and drill programs.
• Integrate structural geology with topographical, geophysical, geochemical, and lithological datasets to refine geological models.
• Ensure accurate and effective structural models are developed for the appropriate metallogenic setting.
• Support resource modeling and geostatistics with structural controls on mineralization.
• Advise on geotechnical and hydrogeological aspects relevant to mine design, stability, and safety.

Innovation & Integration:

• Champion the use of advanced structural modeling tools (e.g., Leapfrog, Move, GIS, geomechanical modelling) for practical application (e.g., targeting, reducing risk, identification of new resource opportunities).
• Drive innovation in data acquisition (e.g., oriented core, televiewer, digital field data collection), implementation, and support structural geology AI application and integration across the organization.
• Collaborate with Technical Services…
