Hays Recruitment, in partnership with Regeneration Enterprises

Regeneration Enterprises is a restoration and remining social enterprise transforming legacy mine sites into opportunities to Begin Again. By viewing mine waste as a resource rather than a liability, the organization supports circular economy principles, advances the energy transition, and delivers meaningful environmental and community benefits.

Combining expertise in geology, environmental restoration, technology, economics, and stakeholder engagement, Regeneration develops innovative solutions to reclaim minerals, stabilize historic mine waste, and renew landscapes across North America. As the company continues to grow, it is seeking a Senior Project Geologist to support technical site evaluations, waste characterization programs, and project advancement initiatives across a diverse portfolio of restoration and remining projects.

This is a unique opportunity to join a mission-driven organization that is redefining responsible resource recovery while creating lasting environmental and social impact.

Your New Role

This position will have an equally strong focus on the design, management, and execution of mine waste characterization programs,



with a significant emphasis on sonic drilling investigations. Sonic drilling is a core component of Regeneration's approach to evaluating tailings, waste rock deposits, and legacy mine waste resources, making this expertise critical to success in the role.

- Oversee sample collection, QA/QC procedures, chain-of-custody protocols, and laboratory coordination.
- Analyze and interpret geological data to support waste stream assessments, resource recovery opportunities, and restoration initiatives.
- Maintain and utilize GIS and geological databases to support project evaluations and decision-making.
- Participate in site visits and technical assessments across North America.
- Collaborate with clients, regulators, Indigenous communities,



and internal stakeholders to support project advancement and responsible resource recovery initiatives.
- Contribute to project ranking, investment evaluations, and strategic development opportunities.

- Proficiency with ArcGIS, QGIS, Leapfrog, or similar geospatial software.
