The Opportunity
At AGA we celebrate diversity – diversity of thought and experience is important to us. We look for people that have an abundance of willingness and are up to the challenge of making a difference. With this in mind, if you feel that you may not tick all of the boxes below but believe you have something unique to contribute to our team, we strongly encourage you to apply – let’s have the conversation.
AGA is seeking to add a discovery driven and intrinsically motivated Spectral Geologist to our global Greenfields Exploration (GFX) division. The role will form part of the geoscience specialist team and will provide support to GFX programs, as well as expert guidance to our 13 operations and advanced projects across the globe.

- Use spectral data integrated with other geological datasets to aid geological interpretation and identify and vector within mineral systems to mineralisation. A focus will be the deciphering of alteration patterns and zonation.
- Analyse and generate products from terrestrial (e.g. TerraSpec and core imaging) and remote sensing (e.g. satellite and airborne) spectral datasets.
- Monitor and advise regions to ensure quality control and best practice in collection, storage and use of spectral/remote sensing data across AGA’s projects and Greenfields Exploration.
- Educate, develop and mentor geologists to improve their understanding and practical application of spectral geology and remote sensing data and techniques.
