Hydrogeologist

The Jerritt Canyon deposit was discovered in 1972, and the first gold production from the property occurred in 1981.

The Jerritt Canyon property contains 30,821 hectares of mining claims located in the mining-friendly state of Nevada.

First Majestic acquired the Jerritt Canyon Gold Mine from Sprott Mining Inc. on April 30, 2021.

In May 2023, operations were suspended to prioritize exploration and technical studies.

Jerritt Canyon is now entering a new phase of evaluation and planning, requiring substantial technical support to advance the work necessary for a potential future restart of operations.

As the Hydrogeologist, you will lead and manage groundwater and hydrogeological studies essential to permitting and mine planning.

This role is responsible for defining, coordinating, and overseeing all hydrogeological investigations needed to characterize groundwater conditions, develop effective dewatering strategies, and ensure mine plans comply with environmental, operational, and regulatory requirements.

In this position, you will lead field investigations, manage hydrogeological data collection and interpretation, and collaborate closely with engineering, geology, and environmental teams.

You will also coordinate with external consultants, drilling contractors, and regulatory agencies to ensure the successful planning and implementation of dewatering systems.

• Lead the mine dewatering investigation program, including planning and executing hydrogeological studies, pumping tests, water level monitoring, and aquifer characterization.
• Design and evaluate dewatering strategies to support safe and efficient mine development and operations.
• Oversee field activities, including drilling, well installation, sampling, pump testing, and site inspections, ensuring safety, quality, and regulatory compliance.
