A strong communicator who enjoys working with colleagues across the company. • Excitement about joining a fast-growing early-stage company, comfort with a dynamic work environment, and eagerness to take on an evolving range of responsibilities. • Keen not just to build cool technology, but to figure out what technical product to build to best achieve the business objectives of the company. • A valid passport and willingness to travel to exploration sites around the world, especially during active field seasons. • Working knowledge of one programming or scripting language (e.g., Python, R) applied to geochemical data • Knowledge of geostatistics, compositional data analysis, or other statistical methods relevant for analysis of geoscientific data • Experience with portable XRF and in-field sample preparation as auditable, fit-for-purpose analytical capability • Experience in environmental geochemistry, including baseline surveys and waste and tailings characterisation • International experience, particularly in the Central African Copperbelt, or in the pegmatite provinces of central Africa and Namibia • Professional registration or chartership (e.g., CGeol, FAusIMM, EurGeol, SACNASP) • Working proficiency in French • Note: Candidates whose background is in exploration geology with a strong geochemical specialisation, and who want to work as a geochemist across a global portfolio rather than a single project, are encouraged to apply. • Note: • KoBold Metals is an equal opportunity workplace and an affirmative action employer.
