Your roleOur Kiruna Mine Geology department is looking for a Mine Geologist focused on 3D modelling, block modelling, and cross-departmental collaborations. In this role, you will work closely with our mine planning, rock engineering, and survey crews, as well as production operations, external drilling contractors and commercial laboratories. This is an environment where collaboration, reliability, and automated innovations are highly valued.
Responsibilities include providing updated production block models, as well as 3D geological models, based on face mappings, core logging, and assay data to ensure high-confidence ore body alignment with stope designs and mining plans. You will deliver accurate grade control data to mine planners and engineers for blasting and dilution management. Additionally, you will handle and validate large datasets, support ore tracking and grade control processes, perform reconciliation analyses between geological models and mining outcomes, and collaborate closely with mine planners, engineers and production teams to continuously improve model accuracy and data quality.
What You BringIf you have an analytical mindset, work well both independently and collaboratively, and like handling and interacting with large datasets, you will likely thrive in this role in a supportive team environment.
