Newmont produces metals the world needs - safely, responsibly and with care for people, communities and the environment. With a 100+ year history, we continue to shape the future of mining through innovation and strong operational performance. By joining our inclusive, world-class team, you can help shape the future of mining and make a meaningful difference.

Red Chris is an open-pit copper-gold mine in the famous Golden Triangle of northern British Columbia, situated on the traditional territory of the Tahltan Nation. As a fly-in, fly-out operation, Red Chris is reached via charter flights from multiple locations in BC and Alberta, with teams working on a rotational schedule. Currently an active open-pit producer, Red Chris is poised for an exciting transformation - we are developing a high-value underground block cave that will extend the mine’s life for decades and unlock even more resources. The remote location fosters a close-knit “camp” community where safety and teamwork come first. Working at Red Chris offers an adventurous career at the frontier of mining innovation, with the opportunity to shape a major expansion while enjoying the natural beauty of northern Canada. Our team values strong partnerships with local First Nations and is committed to operating in a safe, inclusive and environmentally responsible way.

Your Contribution

As a Specialist Geologist, Structural, you'll provide structural geology expertise that supports both current operations and the future development of the Red Chris Block Cave. You'll play a critical role in maintaining and advancing structural models, integrating geological and geotechnical data, and delivering insights that support mine design, hazard assessment, and geotechnical decision-making.

As Part of Our Team, You Will
  • Lead and support structural geology data collection, mapping, logging, and interpretation activities for structural modeling and geotechnical analysis.
  • Create, maintain, and enhance structural geological models using surface and underground drilling and mapping data.
  • Provide structural geology input into geotechnical assessments, mine planning, hazard management, and underground development activities.
  • Analyze and interpret structural and seismic datasets to support geotechnical evaluations and mining decisions.
  • Collaborate with geology, geotechnical, mine planning, and operational teams to integrate structural information into business decisions.
Prerequisites for Your Success in This Role
  • Degree in Geology, Engineering Geology, Geotechnical Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Extensive experience in structural geology, geological modeling, and operational mining environments.
  • Advanced geological modeling capability, including strong proficiency with Leapfrog and structural interpretation.
  • Experience working with structural, geotechnical, and seismic datasets to support mining decisions.
  • Underground mining experience preferred; block cave mining experience highly regarded.
Your Work Environment


• Permanent role supporting the Red Chris Block Cave project.
• Reports through the geotechnical function under the Geotechnical/Geoscience Manager.
• 15/13 site-based roster currently anticipated, with potential flexibility or hybrid arrangements for the right candidate.
