3D Designer (Full-time Remote)

APEX Geoscience Ltd. is seeking a 3D Geological Modeller to support our Mineral Resource Estimation (MRE) projects. This full-time, permanent position focuses on developing, refining, and reviewing 3D geological models, wireframes, and domains that underpin mineral resource estimation. The work involves a range of deposit types and geological settings.

We are looking for a hands-on specialist with strong implicit modelling skills and sound geological judgment. Expertise in modelling principles matters more than experience with any particular software package. You will work closely with MRE project managers, resource geologists, and project teams as an individual technical contributor, without formal people or project management responsibilities.

Location: Edmonton, AB or Vancouver, BC preferred. Remote within Canada.

What You'll Do

Develop, update, and refine implicit 3D geological models for lithology, alteration, mineralization, and other geological features.

Integrate drillhole logging, assays, geological maps, geophysical information, and other datasets into coherent geological interpretations.

Develop and critically evaluate geological interpretations, including continuity, structural controls, geometry, and domain boundaries, using modelling approaches appropriate to the deposit and available data.

Prepare plans, sections, and 3D visualizations that clearly communicate interpretations and modelling assumptions.

Work with MRE Project Managers and estimators to define modelling requirements and develop fit-for-purpose geological and estimation domains.

Incorporate new drilling information, revised interpretations, and technical feedback into model updates, keeping inputs and versions organized.

Identify data limitations and geological uncertainty that could affect domain definition or downstream resource estimation.

Model Review & Technical Judgment

Check models against drillhole intersections, geological sections, plans, and other source information to identify inconsistencies, modelling artifacts, and unreasonable geometry.

Apply independent geological judgment to identify, assess, and resolve modelling issues, consulting with the appropriate technical lead where interpretations or decisions could materially affect resource estimation.

Document key assumptions, interpretations, checks, and changes so models can be reviewed and used reliably by downstream teams.

Apply implicit modelling principles across appropriate software platforms, choosing methods that suit the geological problem rather than relying on one approach.

Identify practical ways to improve modelling quality, consistency, and efficiency across projects.

What We're Looking For

Degree in geology or a closely related discipline

Demonstrated professional experience developing 3D geological models for mineral exploration or mining, including models that support mineral resource estimation.

Strong hands-on experience with implicit geological modelling software (e.g., Leapfrog Geo, Micromine, or equivalent), with an emphasis on geological interpretation and modelling principles rather than any specific platform.

Strong geological interpretation skills and experience integrating drillhole, geological, and assay data.

Good technical judgment, including the ability to recognize modelling issues, assess their potential impact, and know when to seek further input.

Ability to work independently, produce technically sound and well-documented models, and manage assigned deliverables.

Clear communication and a collaborative approach to working with resource geologists and other technical specialists.

Bonus Points

Structural geology and structural interpretation experience, especially with structurally controlled mineralization.

Experience with a range of deposit types or complex geological settings.

Familiarity with resource estimation workflows, geological domaining, and geostatistical concepts.

Experience with more than one geological modelling platform.

Python or other tools for geological modelling and data-preparation automation.

Registration as a P.Geo., or eligibility for registration in Canada.

What We Offer

A dedicated technical modelling role with the opportunity to take ownership of geological interpretations and modelling deliverables.

Exposure to diverse deposit types, challenging geological settings, and projects at different stages of resource development.

Opportunities to work closely with experienced resource geologists, technical specialists, and Qualified Persons.

A collaborative environment that values sound geological judgment, technical quality, and practical improvements to modelling workflows.

Flexible working arrangements, with remote opportunities across Canada.
