This is a demanding, rewarding role for a technical expert who thrives in remote field environments and aviation operations.
Your Role
As part of our airborne survey crew, you will:
1. Install, configure, and operate advanced airborne systems: MobileMT, TargetEM, magnetics, radiometrics, and gravity sensors
2. Conduct daily calibrations, diagnostics, and first-line repairs—both in the field and in the hangar
3. Troubleshoot sophisticated sensor arrays, data loggers, and system components under tight timelines.
4. Monitor in-flight data acquisition to ensure survey compliance and data integrity
5. Perform preliminary quality control and manage secure geophysical data handling
6. Coordinate logistics, including aviation crew liaison and local stakeholder engagement
7. Maintain accurate records for operations, safety checks, and equipment performance
Required Skills & Experience
1. Direct experience with passive airborne EM systems (e.g., MobileMT, TargetEM)
2. 5+ years in airborne geophysical surveys (both helicopter and fixed-wing)
3. Degree in Geophysics, Electronics Engineering, Physics, or similar (postgraduate preferred)
4. Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot high-sensitivity electronic systems, cryogenic fluids handling, and multi-sensor data platforms.
5. Advanced computer skills, including geophysical software, GIS, and data workflows
6. Fluent in English (spoken and written); additional languages (Russian, Mandarin, Spanish, French) are a plus
Additional Requirements
1. Valid international driver’s licence and unrestricted passport
2. Comfortable with extended international deployments in remote environments
3. Strong knowledge of HSE protocols and aviation support operations
4. Physically capable of performing technical work under challenging field conditions
