Senior Geologist

The Senior Geologist leads geological evaluation, resource modeling, and technical reporting across DISA’s growing inventory of uranium sites, including abandoned mine waste (AUM) and active acquisition targets. This role is central to producing resource estimates that meet NI 43-101 or equivalent standards, managing geological data-collection workflows, and ensuring DISA’s resource base is accurately represented and technically supported. The Senior Geologist works closely with characterization, and commercial teams to guide site prioritization, oversee sampling and drilling plans, direct junior geologists, and prepare technical reports that withstand investor and regulatory scrutiny.  The successful candidate will thrive in a dynamic start-up environment, wearing multiple hats and contributing to many areas of business development.
