At Nevada Gold Mines (NGM), the Mineral Resource Management team sits at the intersection of geology and geostatistics. We are a collaborative, high-performing technical group dedicated to transforming geological insight into real mining decisions. Our mission is to turn complex data—including challenging metallurgical variables—into models that directly influence how ore is identified, evaluated, and extracted. We are committed to a safe work environment, ensuring every person goes home safe and healthy every day, while leaving a sustainable legacy on our host communities.
This position is designed for a geologist who thrives on problem-solving, field engagement, and technical ownership. You will work across both linear and non-linear approaches to solve problems that aren't straightforward. As a Resource Geologist, you will be at the heart of the operation, where your models, interpretations, and judgment directly shape mine decisions.
The day-to-day involves integrating field observations from regular pit and/or underground visits to ground-truth interpretations and model performance. You will design and execute best-practice resource estimation workflows, build and validate geological and block models of varying complexity, and ensure orebody knowledge is clearly communicated across the broader business. This is a hands-on role where you will independently solve complex geological challenges using sound technical judgment, creativity, and initiative, while preparing high-quality reports for senior leadership and key stakeholders.
We review all applications carefully. Thank you for your interest; however, please note that only those selected for an interview will be contacted.
