Title: Principal Structural Geologist

Location: Ontario, Canada

Employment Type: Permanent, Full-Time

Salary Range: $160,000–$200,000

Skyline Recruitment is supporting a highly respected international mining consultancy in the search for an experienced Principal Structural Geologist to join its growing team in Ontario.

This is an excellent opportunity for a senior-level structural geology professional to work alongside an established group of geologists, resource specialists, engineers, and mining professionals on technically challenging projects across Canada and internationally.

The successful candidate will bring advanced structural geology expertise, strong field-based experience, and the ability to provide practical consulting advice throughout the mineral exploration and mining project lifecycle. The position is particularly well suited to an experienced professional who can combine technical leadership with client relationship management, mentorship, and business development.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead belt- to deposit-scale structural analysis and interpretation of mineralized systems.
  • Provide structural geology expertise for projects ranging from early-stage exploration through resource studies, engineering studies, and operational mine support.
  • Undertake and oversee field-based structural analysis, geological mapping, and drill-core interpretation.
  • Apply advanced 3D geological modelling and geophysical interpretation techniques.
  • Develop practical and technically robust solutions for complex geological challenges.
  • Prepare, review, and contribute to technical reports, presentations, proposals, and project deliverables.
  • Work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams on Canadian and international mining projects.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with existing and prospective clients.
  • Identify and support new consulting opportunities as the practice continues to grow.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior and intermediate consultants.
  • Travel within Canada and internationally as required for project work.

Qualifications and Experience

The ideal candidate will bring:

  • A postgraduate degree specializing in structural geology, ideally with a focus on ore deposits. A PhD would be considered an asset.
  • Extensive applied structural geology experience within mineral exploration, mining operations, or consulting.
  • Strong field-based experience conducting belt- to deposit-scale structural analysis and interpreting mineralized systems.
  • A solid theoretical background combined with the ability to develop practical, commercially focused solutions.
  • Experience using GIS and 3D geological modelling software.
  • Professional registration, or eligibility to obtain registration in Canada.
  • An established network within the mining industry.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • The ability to manage projects, support client relationships, and work effectively within multidisciplinary teams.
  • Demonstrated leadership skills and an interest in mentoring developing professionals.

Additional Assets

  • Previous experience within a mining consultancy.
  • Business-development experience and an established client network.
  • Experience interpreting geophysical data.
  • Proficiency with modern implicit modelling tools such as Leapfrog.
  • Exposure to a range of mineral deposit types, commodities, and international jurisdictions.
  • Experience developing proposals, scopes of work, budgets, and project plans.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

  • Join a globally recognized mining consultancy with a strong technical reputation.
  • Work on diverse and technically challenging projects across multiple commodities and jurisdictions.
  • Collaborate with respected specialists in structural geology, resource geology, geostatistics, engineering, and mining advisory services.
  • Take on a visible role with the opportunity to shape the continued growth of the structural geology practice in Ontario.
  • Access a competitive compensation package based on experience.
  • Develop your consulting platform while maintaining a strong technical focus.
