Power Metallic Mines is entering its next exciting chapter in growth. Help find Saudi Arabia's next major mineral discovery! As the Kingdom positions mining as the third pillar of its economy under Vision 2030, our exploration projects are getting underway, and we want great people to help make it happen.
About The Job
With exploration currently underway and additional licences incoming, we're looking for an experienced Senior Exploration Geologist in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. to lead exploration efforts across our portfolio in the search for gold and base metal deposits within the Arabian Nubian Shield. This is a rare opportunity to take technical ownership of exploration in one of the world's most exciting emerging mining jurisdictions, where highly prospective ground is being systematically explored with modern methods for the first time in decades.
You will drive the full exploration cycle across our licence areas, from regional target generation through to drill testing. That means designing and managing field programs, integrating geological, geochemical, and geophysical datasets into robust exploration models, prioritising targets across a growing portfolio, and leading contractors and field teams on the ground.
About Power Metallic Mines
Power Metallic Mines (TSXV: PNPN) is a company built on discovery. At our Nisk project in Quebec's James Bay region, our team took an overlooked nickel asset and turned it into one of Canada's most talked about polymetallic discoveries. The system kept growing because our geologists were empowered to follow the science, challenge old interpretations, and test bold ideas in the ground.
That's not luck. It's how we explore:
strong technical culture, up-to-date tools, and the conviction to drill what others wouldn’t.
Now we're bringing that same approach to a new jurisdiction, and we're looking for the geologists who will lead it. This is exploration from the ground floor with a company that has proven it knows how to make discoveries. You'll have the mandate to generate targets, shape the program, and build something from first principles, with a company that has done exactly that before.
Discoveries are made by explorers who are given the room to explore. At Power Metallic, that's the job.

- Lead the identification of exploration targets and planning of exploration programs
- Supervise and provide technical mentoring and training to field personnel
