About the role

Interested in working with Scout Discoveries? We are always on the lookout for talented individuals who are passionate about innovation and eager to revolutionize the exploration industry. 

Scout Discoveries is a vertically integrated exploration and drilling company based in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho — drilling and geoscience in-house — that takes deliberate care of its people while pursuing Tier One discoveries across the state. Scout is the largest holder of unpatented claims in Idaho, working gold, silver, and copper, and building a culture of entrepreneurship, learning, and looking out for one another.

Scout's discovery model runs on data quality, and data quality is made in the field: at the core box, on the drill pad, in the logging shack. Senior Geologists are the backbone of that work, and the layer that turns field observation into geological insight.

This role leads geological logging, sampling, and data collection on assigned programs, contributes to interpretation and targeting, and supervises the project and junior geologists learning the craft alongside them.

At Scout, senior geologists are also builders: every debrief, every protocol improvement, and every junior geo they coach compounds into the institutional knowledge that makes discovery repeatable.

We drill. We discover. We do it again, until discovery stops being luck.
