What this role is
Supervises a team of geologists conducting field mapping, sampling, and ore body assessment. At the Manager (Team Lead) (M1) level, the role owns a single team, day-to-day delivery and people issues, and drives team output and health. Direct people management of one team.
What this level does
- Supervises a unit of field geologists and technicians executing daily sample and data collection over rough terrain, ensuring proper field techniques, safety, and geological classification systems are followed
- Schedules and coordinates day-to-day field studies — site visits, sample collection, and surveys — and checks that laboratory samples (geochronology, geochemical) are correctly labeled and dispatched
- Reviews preliminary geological reports prepared by junior staff against established practices before they pass to senior review
- Allocates field equipment, vehicles, and short-term crew assignments to keep collection schedules on track within the unit budget
- Knowledge applied
- Applies functional expertise in field techniques, geological classification, and sample collection to supervise a single unit's daily operations using established practices.
- Complexity & problem solving
- Handles limited-scope problems — field logistics, sample handling, and preliminary report accuracy — within established procedures.
- Collaboration & interaction
- Daily interaction with field staff and peer supervisors, coordinating collection schedules and equipment.
- Typical experience
- Functional geology expert with some leadership exposure; degree in geology/geoscience plus early field-supervision experience.
Skills at this level
- Analyzing Data or Information
- — Identifies the underlying geological principles, reasons, or facts by breaking down field, mapping, and laboratory data into separate parts to interpret deposits and subsurface conditions.
- Getting Information
- — Observes, receives, and obtains geological information from all relevant sources including field surveys, aerial photographs, rock samples, and remotely sensed data.
- GIS and Geospatial Technology
- — Uses GIS, remote sensing, and geospatial technologies including ArcGIS to produce geologic mapping and manage geodatabase attribution in an enterprise environment.
- Geological and Groundwater Modeling
- — Uses groundwater and geological modeling software plus graphics editing and data manipulation tools to produce publication-quality figures and geospatial analyses.
- Communication
- — Presents geological research findings clearly to varied audiences, including both scientists and stakeholders without a geoscience background, through reports, papers, and presentations.
- Field Study Planning and Sampling
- — Plans and directs field studies, visiting locations to collect physical samples and conduct surveys, and coordinates specialized laboratory chemical analyses such as geochronology and geochemistry.
- Resource Deposit Interpretation
- — Analyzes aerial photographs, rock samples, and integrated data to locate deposits of natural resources and estimate their size and commercial significance.
- Contract and Commercial Management
- — Owns the contractual and commercial framing of geological deliverables, extending accountability beyond geology into contract negotiation and client program commitments.
- Team Leadership and Mentoring
- — Provides leadership across geology project teams and mentors junior staff, developing field competencies toward interpretation and accountability.
- Working with Computers
- — Uses computers and computer systems to enter, process, and interpret geological data, run modeling software, and manage geospatial workflows.
