Geologist

Privacy Policy – Core Natural Resources, Inc.

Position Summary

As a geologist this position will play an integral role in the ongoing success of Core Natural Resources’ operations. This will include providing geological input into site operations, identifying geological uncertainties and potential risks on operating mine sites to an acceptable level and assisting geomechanical engineer in providing technical support and project solutions to mine sites to meet safety/productivity/cost targets.

Target Responsibilities

Accept, embrace, and promote the following Core Values of Core Natural Resources: Safety, Sustainability, and Continuous Improvement.

Conduct geological reconnaissance of the mine environment through underground roof scoping, geological mapping, auditing, and sampling of underground gate roads, interpretation of geologic structures and interpretation of drilling results.

Perform underground roof scoping to identify the immediate roof geology and fractures and evaluate the quality and stability of the roof. Based on roof scoping and surface core hole data, create and maintain up-to-date geology cross-section maps.

Conduct underground geological mapping to identify geological anomalies and potential risks and provide geology conditions to mine management.

Based on the information collected from roof scoping, surface core hole, and underground mapping, create and update comprehensive geologic maps and provide projections for potential geological anomalies and risks.

Assist with geomechanical engineer to provide roof support recommendations for gate road development and longwall retreat to mine management.

Assist with geomechanical engineer to provide geological advice related to the mine’s current and future plans.

Assist with geomechanical engineer for other projects related to geotechnical services.

Assist with drilling activities including core handling, sample preparation, core photos, and sample logging to provide geologic guidance in both production and exploration areas.

Required Skills and Experience

Bachelor’s degree in geology, geological engineering, or mining engineering preferred.

Prior experience in mine service/production preferred.

Familiarity with geologic mapping skills, sampling skills, and modeling skills.

Familiarity with MicroStation or AutoCAD, Carlson or MineScape, and Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

Familiarity with ground support practices in underground mining in both development and longwall retreat.

Regularly required to work underground and near moving mechanical parts.

We look forward to seeing you
