Geologist

If you’re an adaptable, team player looking to extend your geoscience skills in mineral exploration, we want to hear from you.

Equity Exploration is a fast-growing consulting company with deep roots and broad experience in the mineral exploration community in Canada and the USA. Our projects span the mineral discovery life-cycle: from early-stage, greenfields surface projects to significant resource definition drilling programs in support of large-scale mining operations.

Since 1987, we have approached our work with fairness and honesty (our company name is no coincidence…) and a big part of this culture is actively mentoring and training our team members. At Equity we value teamwork, adaptability and integrity and strive to provide a safe and enjoyable work environment.

We are currently filling seasonal roles for Winter programs; however we will continue to fill roles for exploration work that takes place over spring, summer and fall in Canada and the USA.
