The firm serves industrial and mining clients across the public and private sectors.

Role Overview:

ELITech Earth Science is looking to hire an experienced Geologist/ Mining Geologist/ Mine Planning Geologist, to strengthen its Geology & Mining practice/ vertical. The role combines hands-on technical delivery — field geology, mine geology, mine planning and resource/ reserve estimation — with a positive client-facing and business development component (to a certain extent), including due diligence studies, bid/ proposal preparation and advisory support for mineral block auctions. The position is based at ELITech's head office in Kolkata, with project- and business-development-related travels, as and when required, including extended stays at remote site locations, depending on the project requirements from time-to-time.

Key Responsibilities:

- Carry out field geology and mine geology assignments across open cast and underground coal and non-coal (ferrous and non-ferrous metals) mining projects.
- Undertake hands-on mine planning using industry-standard software such as AutoCAD, Surpac, Minex, Google Earth,



QGIS and similar tools.
- Conduct geological due diligence of mineral blocks — plotting of block boundaries, analysis of mineralization, evaluation of mineral horizons, and estimation/ establishment/ validation of geological reserves/ resources. Support bid advisory work from a geological perspective for mineral block auctions, including technical inputs to bid strategy.
- Prepare explicit, meaningful and decision-ready outcomes from due diligence studies for clients and internal stakeholders.
- Carry out mineral resource/ reserve estimation in accordance with applicable global and Indian standards, like UNFC, JORC, etc.
- Work across a range of minerals, including coal, base metals (copper, chrome, zinc, bauxite), critical minerals and rare earth elements.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (survey, mining, mineral processing) and should be able to work as a cohesive team member. Additionally, provide leadership/ mentorship where required.
- Contribute to the firm's business development efforts — preparation of technical bids, proposals and responses to formal enquiries from government and private mining companies.
- Travel to project sites and client locations as needed, including extended stays at remote locations, depending on the project requirements from time-to-time.

Required Skills and Experience:

- 8 to 12 years of relevant experience in field geology, mine geology and mine planning.
- Good hands-on experience in mine planning software — AutoCAD, Surpac, Minex,



Google Earth, QGIS, etc. — for both open cast and underground coal and metal mines. Should be able to work independently on engagements/ works involving similar requirements.
- Experience in geological due diligence of mineral blocks, including mineralization and geological reserve/ resource establishment.
- Working knowledge of resource/ reserve estimation standards such as UNFC and JORC (or equivalent global/ Indian standards).
- Prior exposure to mineral auction processes and bid advisory from a geological standpoint will be strongly preferred.
- Experience working across coal, mineral metals (copper, chrome, zinc, bauxite), critical minerals and rare earth elements.
- Proven ability to contribute to business development — bid preparation, technical proposal writing, and responses to formal market enquiries.
- Strong team player with demonstrated leadership capability.
- Self-driven, quick learner, and comfortable operating with a high degree of ownership.
- Decent communication skills in English; proficiency in Hindi and/ or other Indian languages will be an advantage.
