At Nemaska Lithium, we transform lithium spodumene into lithium products of exceptional purity. But we're especially proud to say that we're also transforming much more than that.
We transform our future into a cleaner, healthier, and more environmentally conscious world. We transform simple connections between colleagues into true friendships. We transform jobs into careers, and careers into life-changing decisions. We transform breaks into moments of play, Monday mornings into Friday afternoons, and "I come here for the paycheck" into "I come here because it looks incredible." We transform our teams' ideas into solutions to be considered. And we transform ourselves through contact with our communities, turning each of our words into concrete actions to support them.
So, if the simple fact of being able to contribute to all these great transformations makes you feel even slightly transformed, it's time for us to talk!
Your mission:
Ready to transform our geological practices?
As a part of the technical services team, reporting to the Chief Geologist, the Production Geologist contributes to studies and work leading up to the mine's start-up. Since the Whabouchi mine is not yet in production, the position will evolve over the next year and will consist of a flexible work schedule alternating between telework, work sessions at the Montreal office, and visits to the mine site when required. This hybrid schedule will change when mining operations begin and permanent support at the mine is required. Ultimately, the production geologist will be assigned to a 14/14 Fly-In Fly-Out work schedule and based entirely at the Whabouchi mine. The production geologist's responsibilities will include managing and maintaining the geological database, participating in updating the geological and resource models, preparing grade control tools, and any other tasks required to ensure a robust start to production when the time comes. He or she will provide support to the technical services team and work in collaboration with the mine's engineering and metallurgy team.
