About the role
- This role sits at the intersection of drilling, geology, resource estimation, field operations, and software product development.
- You will work closely with Mariana Minerals' software team to translate real-world exploration and drilling workflows into scalable software tools, automated systems, and practical field-to-model solutions.
- The focus is not only to execute drilling programs, but to help automate how those programs are planned, tracked, sampled, analyzed, reconciled, and optimized across greenfield, brownfield, infill, resource definition, and new drilling campaigns.
Responsibilities
- Work directly with the software team to design, test, and improve MarianaOS tools for drilling, exploration, sampling, QA/QC, assay review, and resource modeling.
- Help define how technical users should plan drill programs, capture field data, track sample movement, validate assays, and reconcile results inside MarianaOS.
- Build and refine workflows that reduce manual spreadsheet work, improve data quality, and make geological and drilling decisions faster and more auditable.
- Help develop automated systems for drill planning, target prioritization, hole design, drill schedule tracking, contractor coordination, and field progress reporting.
- Support workflows for greenfield exploration, brownfield drilling, infill drilling, resource conversion, confirmation drilling, and follow-up drilling.
- Design repeatable logic for comparing planned versus actual drilling outcomes, including drilled meters, productivity, sample recovery, deviations, delays, costs, and geological results.
- Partner with technical and software teams to turn field learnings into product improvements that can scale across future Mariana Minerals projects.
- Help define and automate end-to-end sample workflows, including sample interval design, labeling, chain of custody, dispatch, lab status tracking, assay receipt, and QA/QC review.
Requirements
- Experience with sediment-hosted copper, sandstone-hosted copper, red-bed copper, stratiform copper, or similar deposits is helpful, but not required.
