Exploration Geologist

Piper Maddox

Exploration Geologist | Remote + Field Work | Full-time, Direct-Hire | Mining

We're partnering with a growing exploration company to find a Mid-to-Senior Exploration Geologist to join their team. This is a fantastic opportunity for a field-focused geologist who wants to play a key role in advancing mineral exploration projects across the Western US.

About the Role:

This is a remote-based position with significant field rotations focused primarily in Nevada, with potential work extending into surrounding states (OR, ID, UT, AZ, and occasionally NM/CO/CA). Field rotations follow a 10-on/4-off or 15-on/7-off schedule, with quarterly travel to the company's Colorado office.

What You'll Do:

  • Conduct field exploration activities including geological mapping, outcrop and rock chip sampling, soil geochemistry, and structural analysis to identify and characterize mineralized targets
  • Manage and interpret drill programs, including core/RC logging, sample QA/QC, and integration of assay results into geological models
  • Analyze and synthesize geochemical, geophysical, and geological datasets to generate and prioritize drill targets
  • Support regulatory, permitting, and technical reporting requirements while maintaining accurate field documentation

What We're Looking For:

  • 5-15 years of experience in mineral exploration, ideally with a gold-focused background
  • Strong field exploration skill set with a genuine passion for boots-on-the-ground work
  • Comfort with extended field rotations and remote work environments
  • Experience across various deposit styles and exploration techniques is a plus

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Base salary: Depends on experience.
  • Annual cash bonus: 20-35% of base salary, tied to individual and company performance
  • One-time stock option grant upon starting
  • 3-4 weeks PTO
  • Company vehicle provided for work use (truck based in Reno), with mileage/travel expenses covered

If you're an experienced exploration geologist looking for a hands-on role with real ownership over target generation and field programs, we'd love to hear from you.
