Geoscience Consultant Mining

About SkyGeo

SkyGeo assists engineers across organizations of various sizes to analyze and interpret millimeter-scale InSAR deformation patterns, enabling earlier and more efficient assessments of geological and geotechnical risks. Clients rely on these insights to monitor ground movement around critical infrastructure and operational sites. To expand our footprint in the Asia-Pacific region, we seek an experienced geoscience professional capable of bridging our technology with the practical challenges encountered by mining and engineering teams.

Your Role & Impact

As a Geoscience Consultant, you will help clients incorporate and utilize InSAR data within their geotechnical and operational workflows. Your primary mission is to ensure the technical success of our customers by collaborating closely with geotechnical engineers, geologists, and other specialists to comprehend onsite conditions, integrate InSAR data with other datasets, and convert complex data into actionable engineering insights. Mining operations will be a key area of focus, where you will assist clients in analyzing deformation related to slopes, tailings facilities, subsidence, infrastructure, and other geotechnical challenges. You will also contribute your expertise to the sales process by understanding and articulating customers' engineering problems.

Main Responsibilities

• Partner directly with geoscience and engineering teams to embed InSAR into their monitoring practices and decision-making processes.
• Analyze deformation trends with consideration of mining operations, geological settings, and geotechnical conditions.
• Integrate InSAR data with GIS, geological, monitoring, and other remote or onsite datasets.
• Set up, manage, and optimize SkyGeo data feeds for your assigned projects.
• Create impactful technical visualizations including maps, graphs, cross-sections, and animations.
• Assist the Sales team with technically demanding customer engagements.
• Collaborate with SkyGeo's InSAR Engineers and Data Analytics teams to align data outputs with application needs.
• Travel to client locations across the Asia-Pacific region and engage with technical domain experts.
• Represent SkyGeo’s technical expertise at industry events and conferences.
