Role Overview

The Senior Geologist Supervisor provides senior technical leadership and project management oversight for geology-driven programs that support resource development, geological modeling, and Life-of-Asset (LOA) planning at Highland Valley Copper.

The role is accountable for the planning, execution, and delivery of large-scale diamond and reverse circulation (RC) drilling programs, as well as the integration of high-quality geological data into resource and geoscience models that underpin mine planning, production optimization, and long-term asset value, while ensuring work is executed safely, efficiently, and to a high technical standard. 

Key Responsibilities

• Be a courageous safety leader, adhere to and sponsor safety and environmental rules and procedures
• Lead the safe planning and execution of diamond and RC drilling programs, ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory standards
• Manage drilling programs end-to-end, including scope, scheduling, budgeting, and contractor oversight
• Monitor project progress, manage risks, and implement corrective actions to deliver on time and within budget
• Balance competing priorities and resources across multiple concurrent projects
• Provide senior geological expertise in porphyry Cu–Mo systems, including interpretation of lithology, alteration, mineralization, and structure
• Oversee the collection, validation, and interpretation of geological data to support resource models and planning
• Ensure geological models, datasets, and technical outputs meet industry best practices and internal standards
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and contractors, communicating project progress, risks, and outcomes effectively
• Mentor and support geologists and technicians while driving continuous improvement in workflows, QA/QC, and data systems
• Promote a strong safety culture while ensuring compliance with environmental, regulatory, and corporate governance requirements

Qualifications

• Advanced degree in Geology or related geoscience discipline preferred.
• Membership as a Professional Geoscientist (P.Geo) with Engineers and Geoscientists BC (EGBC)
• 15+ years of experience in operating mine or advanced project environments, with demonstrated success managing large diamond and RC drilling programs.
• Advanced knowledge and demonstrated experience with porphyry Cu–Mo deposits.
• Strong understanding of geological modeling, resource development, and Life-of-Asset planning requirements.
• Proven ability to manage complex projects, schedules, and budgets while maintaining safety and technical quality.
• Proficiency with industry-standard geology and data management software (e.g., Leapfrog, Datamine, Vulcan, acQuire, or similar).
• Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder coordination skills.
