  • Ensure daily magnetic data is transferred, validated, organised, backed up and processed using GEMLink+ or approved software, including diurnal correction, profiling, line-path review and basic mapping/modeling as required.


  • Manage GPS/GNSS-supported navigation and positioning, including coordinate/line guidance and available SBAS, DGPS or RTK correction workflows where configured.


  • Train and coach Senior Crew Leads, Crew Leads and field personnel in acquisition technique, equipment handling, positioning, QA/QC, data workflow, troubleshooting and safe working practices.


  • Coordinate with the Field Operations Manager and HSE team; conduct pre-start/toolbox coordination and maintain strong HSE leadership, journey management, heat controls and emergency readiness.


  • Provide concise daily updates covering achieved coverage, repeats, QA/QC issues, equipment readiness, safety observations, productivity and the next-day survey plan.

  • Minimum 5+ years of ground-magnetics experience covering field deployment/acquisition, QA/QC and magnetic data processing.


  • Hands-on magnetometer experience; GEM Systems GSM-19 / Overhauser experience strongly preferred.


  • Practical GPS/GNSS survey-navigation experience; SBAS/DGPS/RTK familiarity desirable.


  • GEMLink+ or comparable software experience for data transfer, diurnal correction, profiling and basic mapping/modeling is strongly desirable.
