Expert Geophysics Pty Limited – Global Projects | Full-time | Based in Perth with International Travel

Explore Deeper. Lead Smarter. Discover More.

Expert Geophysics Pty Limited is a global leader in airborne geophysical exploration, pioneering advanced technologies for mineral discovery. Our proprietary passive and time-domain EM systems are among the most sophisticated in the industry—trusted by top-tier exploration programs across six continents.

We are currently seeking a Senior Geophysicist to join our Perth-based team. This is a senior technical position with global reach, focused on airborne electromagnetic (EM) systems, geological modelling, and the integration of multi-physics datasets into actionable exploration insights.

Key Responsibilities

As a Senior Geophysicist, you’ll play a pivotal role in the design, execution, and interpretation of complex geophysical surveys:

1. Lead airborne geophysical surveys, including passive EM, time-domain EM, magnetics, radiometrics, and gravity.
2. Process, model, and interpret geophysical data to build high-resolution geological frameworks.
3. Provide technical leadership to multidisciplinary exploration teams across global projects.
4. Design and manage integrated geophysical programs tailored to specific geological settings and exploration goals.
5. Conduct advanced inversion modelling using EM-specific software and custom workflows.
6. Assess the geometry, depth, and composition of mineralised systems using combined datasets.
7. Support regional exploration strategies with geological and geophysical syntheses.
8. Drive innovation by developing new processing techniques and data integration methods.
9. Mentor junior technical staff and foster best practices across project teams.
10. Stay at the forefront of geophysical technology, particularly in airborne passive and Time Domain EM methods.

Required Expertise

This role requires a proven track record in advanced EM geophysics, particularly within the airborne exploration sector.

Technical Requirements

1. Extensive hands-on experience in natural field (passive) EM: survey design, acquisition, processing, and interpretation.
2. Deep knowledge of airborne time-domain EM systems: calibration, inversion, and geological integration.
3. Expertise with leading geophysical software platforms (e.g., Oasis Montaj, Geosoft, and TDEM inversion tools).
4. Strong understanding of geological processes and mineral systems relevant to airborne exploration.
5. Demonstrated ability to create custom models, workflows, and software solutions for data analysis.

Qualifications & Experience

1. Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Geophysics, Geology, Physics, or a related field.
2. Postgraduate qualifications are strongly preferred.
3. Minimum of 3+ years of direct professional experience in airborne EM survey projects.
4. Experience working in remote and international field environments.
5. Commitment to HSE standards, regulatory compliance, and environmental responsibility.

Other Skills

1. Strong analytical and critical thinking skills.
2. Excellent written and verbal communication.
3. Comfortable working in cross-cultural, multidisciplinary teams.
4. Fluent in English; additional languages (e.g., Russian, Mandarin, Spanish, or French) are a major asset.
5. Willingness to travel globally and work on remote, extended field rotations.
