Project Geologist

POSITION SUMMARY

Hexagon Energy, a clean energy development company specializing in geothermal, solar, and battery energy storage projects, is seeking a Project Geologist to support its geothermal development efforts.

As a Project Geologist, you will support Hexagon’s development efforts by de-risking and advancing the maturity of geothermal projects. This will involve the integration and collection of new geoscience data, conceptual model construction and maintenance, field work, and cross-team organization to advance exploration efforts.

ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Oversee the aggregation, management, curation, and data mining of critical geoscience records, well data, and prospect information.

  • Develop and refine conceptual models of geothermal systems by synthesizing geothermally relevant datasets, including geophysical and geochemical data, remote sensing imagery, well and drilling logs, and surface/subsurface geologic information.

  • Support the planning, execution, and data acquisition phases of geophysical surveys and studies in tandem with the Senior Geologist.

  • Conduct comprehensive field mapping to generate detailed geologic maps of lithology, structural geology, geomorphology, mineralization, and hydrothermal alteration.

  • Conduct field collection of geochemical samples as needed to support ongoing exploration activities.

  • Act as the primary owner of conceptual models for active geothermal reservoirs. Collaborate cross-functionally with geochemistry, reservoir engineering, and operations teams to optimize asset value while adhering to corporate standards.

  • Provide essential geoscience expertise and conceptual model data to support business development initiatives and regulatory permitting packages.

  • Design and model subsurface well trajectories, including directional drilling plans. Partner closely with drilling operations, project managers, and engineers to ensure the successful execution of drilling campaigns.

  • Manage the life cycle of various geothermal prospects, guiding them from initial evaluation through reservoir testing.

  • Formulate exploration and development strategies aligned with organizational objectives. Deliver actionable recommendations that weigh potential upside against associated risks and uncertainties.

  • Foster a dynamic exploration approach by generating innovative concepts, evaluating multiple working hypotheses, and assessing the viability and risk profiles of new prospects.

  • Engage and coordinate with internal stakeholders across Interconnection/Engineering, Execution, Development, Commercial, and Geothermal teams to drive exploration and drilling projects forward.

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE

Applicants must have, at minimum, a Bachelor’s Degree in Earth Science or Engineering, Geology, or other industry relevant field.

  • 3+ years experience in geothermal resource evaluation

  • Extensive knowledge of geothermal energy systems

  • Strong background in geothermal resource evaluation, development, and management

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

  • Ability to interpret magnetotelluric (MT), seismic, geochemical, gravity-magnetic, well log, structural, and stress regime data

  • Experience with QGIS or ArcGIS software suite

  • Experience with Seequent software suite, particularly Oasis Montaj and Leapfrog, or similar industry standard geovisualization software

  • Demonstrated ability to work effectively/collaboratively in dynamic, cross-functional teams and influence others through work ethic and positive attitude to accomplish stretch goals

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

  • Experience with reservoir modeling software

  • Familiarity with industry-relevant machine-learning approaches

  • Familiarity with Python
