Full Job Description

About Jerritt Canyon

The Jerritt Canyon deposit was discovered in 1972, and the first gold production from the property occurred in 1981. The Jerritt Canyon property contains 30,821 hectares of mining claims located in the mining-friendly state of Nevada. First Majestic acquired the Jerritt Canyon Gold Mine from Sprott Mining Inc. on April 30, 2021. In May 2023, operations were suspended to prioritize exploration and technical studies. Jerritt Canyon is now entering a new phase of evaluation and planning, requiring substantial technical support to advance the work necessary for a potential future restart of operations.

The Opportunity

As the Hydrogeologist, you will lead and manage groundwater and hydrogeological studies essential to permitting and mine planning. This role is responsible for defining, coordinating, and overseeing all hydrogeological investigations needed to characterize groundwater conditions, develop effective dewatering strategies, and ensure mine plans comply with environmental, operational, and regulatory requirements.

In this position, you will lead field investigations, manage hydrogeological data collection and interpretation, and collaborate closely with engineering, geology, and environmental teams. You will also coordinate with external consultants, drilling contractors, and regulatory agencies to ensure the successful planning and implementation of dewatering systems.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the mine dewatering investigation program, including planning and executing hydrogeological studies, pumping tests, water level monitoring, and aquifer characterization.
Design and evaluate dewatering strategies to support safe and efficient mine development and operations.
Oversee field activities, including drilling, well installation, sampling, pump testing, and site inspections, ensuring safety, quality, and regulatory compliance.
Manage data collection and interpretation, including groundwater modeling, hydrogeochemical analysis, and development of conceptual groundwater flow models.
Prepare technical reports, documentation, and recommendations to support mine planning, permitting, and operational decision-making.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including mine engineering, geology, environmental permitting, and project management, to integrate hydrogeological findings into broader project plans.
Coordinate with consultants and contractors, providing direction, scope development, performance oversight, and quality assurance.
Engage with regulatory agencies to support groundwater permitting, reporting, and compliance requirements.
Support risk assessments, identifying potential groundwater-related hazards or uncertainties that may impact mine restart timelines or operations.

The above duties and responsibilities are representative of the nature and level of work assigned and are not necessarily all-inclusive.

Education and Experience

Bachelor's degree in Hydrogeology, Geology, Geological Engineering, or a related field.
At least five (5) years of experience in hydrogeology, preferably in the mining industry or related large-scale industrial projects.
Demonstrated experience with groundwater modeling, dewatering system design, and field investigation programs.
Proficiency in hydrogeologic software (e.g., MODFLOW, AQTESOLV, Leapfrog Hydro).
Strong understanding of groundwater regulations, permitting processes, and environmental compliance.
Excellent communication skills, including the ability to translate technical findings into actionable project guidance.
Ability to lead field teams, manage contractors, and work collaboratively across departments.

Equal Employment Opportunity

The Company is an equal employment opportunity employer committed to providing employment opportunities to employees and applicants in accordance with all applicable laws.
