What this role is
Entry-level technologist who collects and records basic earth-science field and lab measurements under close supervision. At the Support Associate (S1) level, the role owns a single task type or queue, routine, well-defined requests, and drives individual transactions. None.
What this level does
- Collects samples of soil, rocks, and water at exploration sites following a specific sampling plan and step-by-step instructions from a senior technologist or geologist
- Enters field observations and sample IDs into the geoscience data-management system exactly as prescribed, flagging anything unclear rather than deciding it
- Cleans, packages, and labels specimens for the lab and completes chain-of-custody paperwork as instructed
- Attends team meetings and sprint/planning ceremonies within the geoscience team to receive and confirm daily task assignments
- Follows posted safety procedures during fieldwork under close supervision
- Knowledge applied
- General knowledge of sampling routines and data-entry procedures; applies fixed steps to collect soil/rock/water samples and log them as instructed.
- Complexity & problem solving
- Routine, prescribed tasks with readily available answers; escalates anything ambiguous rather than deciding.
- Collaboration & interaction
- Works under close supervision with detailed instructions; standard exchanges within the geoscience team to confirm assignments.
- Typical experience
- 0–1 years; minimal experience, often with a technical certificate or in training.
Skills at this level
- Sample Collection and Handling
- — Collects soil, rock, water, and other materials from exploration sites, then labels, packages, and preserves specimens with correct chain-of-custody for lab testing.
- Geological Data Recording
- — Records field observations and test results into specialized geoscience data-management software, applying standard formats and checking entries for consistency.
- Geological Mapping
- — Maps the geographical distribution of rock types, geological structures, and related features onto base maps and GIS from field notes and traverses.
- GIS Software (ArcGIS/QGIS)
- — Uses ArcGIS/QGIS to manage spatial geological data, produce distribution maps, and resolve georeferencing and layer problems in field datasets.
- Equipment Calibration and Maintenance
- — Calibrates and maintains field and laboratory geoscience instruments on schedule, diagnosing and correcting measurement faults to keep results accurate.
- Laboratory Sample Testing
- — Performs and logs routine lab tests on soil, rock, and water samples, tracks turnaround, and reconciles returned analytical results against field records.
- Well Log and Borehole Data Handling
- — Compiles, checks, and reconciles well-log and borehole records, identifying and resolving contradictions before data is passed to geologists.
- Remote Sensing and Aerial Photo Interpretation
- — Works with remote-sensing imagery and aerial photographs to support mapping and site characterization for the geoscience team.
- Environmental Impact Monitoring
- — Monitors the environmental effects of mining and exploration activity, adjusting monitoring points and frequency as site conditions change.
- Field Safety Compliance
- — Applies and enforces safety standards during fieldwork, from posted procedures at entry level to leading safe practice across a field campaign.
- Field Study Support and Coordination
- — Assists in designing and executing field studies — laying out sampling grids and traverses and sequencing tasks and equipment within the geoscientist's approach.
- Data QA/QC and Procedure Development
- — Reviews geoscience data for quality and, at senior levels, creates and documents sampling, calibration, and QA/QC procedures adopted as team standards.
- Technical Data Presentation Support
- — Prepares data tables, figures, and integrated data packages that help geologists interpret results and communicate findings to stakeholders.
