Geologist

Energy Fuels Resources Inc. is a Denver-based global critical mineral company poised to supply 10 of the 50 minerals essential for current and emerging technologies. Building on more than 45 years of uranium experience, we leverage specialized expertise and facilities to bring key elements to the global supply chain. Energy Fuels is the largest U.S. uranium provider, supplying nuclear energy utilities with material for the zero-emissions nuclear fuel cycle and operating White Mesa Mill, the nation’s only conventional uranium mill. We also produce rare earth oxides for permanent magnets used in electric mobility, wind energy, drones, robotics, and defense applications. A global portfolio of heavy mineral sands assets further supports rare earth processing and the development of products such as titanium and zircon minerals. Position Summary The Mine Geologist will be responsible for providing geological expertise and support to our surface and underground mining operations in Arizona. The primary focus of this role is to ensure grade control, underground survey, accurate geological mapping, sample collection, data interpretation, analysis, and drill program management. The successful candidate will work closely with the mining team, geotechnical engineers, and exploration staff to optimize resource extraction and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. The job will be based in Arizona, and it is expected that the employee will relocate to the Flagstaff/Williams, AZ area. Temporary housing near the mine can be provided on a short-term basis. Energy Fuels is an Equal Opportunity Employer, including disability/vets. Essential Duties and Responsibilities Grade Control As needed, work with Mine Superintendent, Lead Miner, and all miners to confirm ore headings are being mined above minimum cutoff grades and average mine grades are being maintained. Provide up to date maps for miners to show best potential production areas. Ensure that Geiger counters are being used and maintained properly. Aid in blast planning of large stopes by managing ring drilling and sublevel stope designing. Underground Survey Complete survey mapping “as built” updates during regular trips underground. Install lasers or backsight/front sights to guide development periodically. Import data into 3D modeling software and provide up to date maps. Geological Mapping and Analysis Conduct detailed geological mapping of both surface and underground mine areas. Identify and document lithological units, structures, alteration zones, and mineralization. Analyze geological data to interpret the spatial distribution and continuity of uranium/rare earth mineralization. Collaborate with exploration team to integrate exploration data into the geological models. Sample Collection and Analysis Collect rock, soil, and drill core samples from various mining areas. Prepare and process samples for laboratory analysis. Interpret and validate laboratory results to determine mineral grades and quality. Provide accurate and timely data to support mining decision-making processes. Resource Evaluation and Reporting Assist in the estimation and modeling of mineral resources. Contribute to the preparation of technical reports, including geological models, resource statements, and mine plans. Monitor and update geological databases to ensure data integrity and compliance. Geotechnical Support Collaborate with geotechnical engineers to assess rock stability, slope design, and ground control measures. Provide geological input for the development and implementation of mine safety protocols. Collaboration and Coordination Work closely with the mining department to improve grade control and optimize ore resource development. Coordinate with the exploration staff to align geological data with exploration activities. Collaborate with production and development staff to ensure effective resource utilization. Additional Duties Assist mine management with environmental moni…
