Senior Geophysicist

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:

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

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

Qualifications & Experience

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

Other Skills

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

Why Join Expert Geophysics?

At Expert Geophysics, we don't just offer jobs — we offer careers that impact the future of exploration.

• Work at the cutting edge of geophysical technology and innovation.
• Collaborate on globally significant mineral exploration projects.
• Join a highly experienced technical team that values precision, integrity, and creativity.
• Enjoy a role with variety: fieldwork, data science, modelling, and technical leadership.
• Access ongoing training and development with clear paths for progression.
