Geological Project Manager

This role can be based in Chile, Saudi Arabia, United States, Canada or Australia with remote first working or hybrid working in Adelaide. Due to the variable locations you, our clients and the projects can be located, this can sometimes mean working hours different to a typical 9-5 environment.

Fleet Space Technologies is a leading provider of Geophysical sensing for mineral exploration, using Space enabled technology to build the world’s best vertically integrated platform for ML driven mineral discovery. We want to work with curious and ambitious data-driven geoscientists to realize this groundbreaking work.

There are two types of Geologic Client Managers roles here:

GCM Project Managers Lead: This role will be the primary point of contact for clients, focusing on three key areas: exploration objectives, client satisfaction, and project delivery. Project Managers must have a strong technical background in geology or geophysics to "speak the same language" as clients, which helps them understand both the technical and business goals of a project while also being excellent communicators, highly organised and detail orientated.

GCM Technical Geology Lead: This technical role has a key responsibility of geological and geophysical interpretation and producing the final client deliverables, this role also requires the same strong communication skills to work directly with our clients.

It's essential for Project Managers and Lead Technical Geologists to work closely together to align project outcomes with client objectives, ultimately leading to exploration success.

As the roles overlap in the experience and skillsets we look for, applying for one role will be the same as applying for both and we'll take your input onto which role you feel most suited to as well and assess that during the early interview stages.

Role Responsibilities, GCM Project Managers:Client & Account Management

About Fleet Space

Fleet Space Technologies vision from the beginning was to build technologies to help humanity explore and connect the Earth, Moon, and Mars.

This led us to develop and launch one of Australia’s largest constellation of satellites, create our satellite-enabled mineral exploration technology (ExoSphere), and send Australia’s first seismic technology (SPIDER) to the Moon in 2026. ExoSphere, our end-to-end mineral exploration solution powered by space and AI, aims to accelerate critical mineral discovery needed for the clean energy technologies foundational to humanity’s clean energy future.

As part of Fleet’s founding vision, we also apply our technology to innovative solutions for defense and space exploration, including an upcoming mission to the Moon. Headquartered in Adelaide, South Australia, Fleet has rapidly grown to over 160 employees including a growing team in the USA, Canada, and beyond.

We have raised over $200M AUD in venture funding, backed by premier investors including Blackbird, TVG, Grok, and In-Q-Tel including our most recent $150m Series D in December 2024, at a valuation of over $800m.

In 2023 we were recognised by the Australian Financial Review (AFR) as the #1 fastest growing technology company in Australia.
