Are you a driven and adaptable geologist looking to be part of a collaborative team in a dynamic environment? Do you thrive on tackling challenging tasks and embracing change? If you’re eager for growth and excited about working in an innovative setting, this could be the opportunity for you!

About the role

We are currently seeking a geologist to join our near-mine exploration group in Malmberget. As part of our team, you will collaborate closely with other geologists and technicians in a dynamic workplace, offering challenging tasks and excellent opportunities for professional growth.

• Planning and supervising diamond drilling in and around the mine areas
• Core logging and sampling
• Interpretation of geological data
• 3D modeling in Leapfrog

The position involves extensive collaboration both within and outside the company, so strong interpersonal skills are essential.

Fluency in spoken and written English is required. While knowledge of Swedish is a plus, if you don’t already speak it, we expect you to be eager to learn.
