Application Deadline: We will review applications on a rolling-basis

Duration: 8 months

Positions Available: 1

Start Date: January 4, 2027

For this exciting position, we are specifically targeting students who have a background in geology, geotechnical engineering, or geological engineering. Candidates must be enrolled at a Canadian post-secondary institution for the full duration of the co-op term and plan to return to their studies upon completion of the co-op term for at least one academic term. If you are not currently located near the work location, you must be willing to commute or temporarily relocate for the duration of the term. A valid study permit and studentship letter will be required where applicable.

This role focuses on supporting the implementation of machine-learning and computer-vision initiatives for geological and geotechnical drill-core logging and downhole imagery, including televiewer data. The successful candidate will work with structural geologists, geoscientists, and geotechnical engineers to test, validate, and implement automated logging tools, while supporting database management and workflow development.

You will gain hands-on experience working with complex datasets from major operations and advanced projects, gain insights into how automated interpretation tools are validated and deployed in practice, and how structural geology and geotechnical data are used in an exploration and mining context. You will also build experience connecting structural geology with digital innovation, while receiving mentorship from experienced structural geoscientists and technical experts in a collaborative Vancouver office environment!
