Geologist

Unleash your energy within! Be a part of the EDC Team!

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Plans, prepares, and conducts geological fieldwork for international and local geothermal greenfield prospects at various exploration stages—reconnaissance, semi-detailed, and detailed—while ensuring adherence to budget, timelines, and quality standards.
• Collects and analyzes data on lithologies, structural features such as faults, hydrothermal alteration, thermal manifestations, and geomorphology to develop geological models that encompass heat sources, flow regimes, stress and permeability, and volcano-tectonic evolution. Each fieldwork campaign culminates in reports and presentations delivered to management.
• Integrates geological field assessments with geochemical, geophysical, and reservoir engineering data to produce conceptual models, assess risks, develop mitigation strategies, and provide data-driven recommendations on project viability.
• Conducts technical due diligence through comprehensive geological reviews and studies to support Business Development in evaluating mergers, acquisitions, and new geothermal prospects.
• Provides geological expertise to EDC’s operating fields, including expansion and make-up sectors, through fieldwork, multidisciplinary data integration, Leapfrog model updates and development, and the application of GIS and data science for improved well targeting.
• Delivers inputs to financial models, such as development plans for advanced growth projects. Generates exploration well designs and geological prognoses and performs wellsite geology during drilling.
• Performs hydrogeological assessments by investigating the interplay between groundwater, surface water, and geothermal fluids, constrained by geological features such as lithologies and structures.
• Conducts geohazard assessments, including seismotectonic hazard analysis, ground deformation studies, and volcano monitoring, to safeguard existing and future critical infrastructure from geological hazards.
• Leads transformation initiatives and projects by integrating advanced technologies such as remote sensing, machine learning/artificial intelligence, numerical-based stress analysis, and geohazard modeling to enhance geological data collection and interpretation.
• Manages administrative tasks, including stakeholder engagement with local government units (LGUs) and regulatory boards, budget preparation, training participation, and ensuring overall workplace safety.

JOB QUALIFICATIONS:

• A bachelor’s degree in Geology or Geological Engineering is required, while a postgraduate diploma or certification is an advantage. Relevant professional licensure is necessary. Preferably with experience in geothermal exploration or development, along with strong project management skills such as Agile methodology. Proficiency in ArcGIS/QGIS, Leapfrog Geothermal, and Python programming is an advantage.
