Get your career off to a great start with us—with responsibility, technology, and team spirit

Two geologists wearing hard hats and work clothes are examining rock in a narrow, well-lit mine tunnel. One person is pointing to a spot on the rock ceiling, while the other watches intently. — Dr. Katharina Malek of the NLD and Thomas Finkeldey of the LBEG are examining hammer marks on the ridge.

As a state-level authority, we provide expert, impartial advice to policymakers, the business community, the scientific community, and the general public. At the same time, we make a wide range of geospatial data publicly available through our NIBIS map server—data that is easy to understand, reliable, and up to date.

Off-Road Operations Using State-of-the-Art Technology

As the Geological Survey of Lower Saxony, we enjoy working in the field. Using state-of-the-art technology, we study Lower Saxony’s soils, rock strata, and groundwater. Our fleet of vehicles is fully equipped for this purpose—and when necessary, we even deploy a helicopter, for example, to survey groundwater salinization from the air.

Responsibility for four federal states

As the mining authority for Lower Saxony, Hamburg, Bremen, and Schleswig-Holstein, we bear a great deal of responsibility: We oversee the extraction of domestic raw materials such as crude oil, natural gas, geothermal energy, and salt.

Safety and environmental sustainability are our top priorities. Pipelines and caverns used for the storage and transportation of raw materials also fall within our area of responsibility.

Almost completely digitized

Digitalization? For us, it’s not just a “buzzword”—it’s part of our everyday life. By 2027, we’ll be fully digital—and we’ve already successfully taken many steps toward that goal.

Our locations in Hanover, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Meppen, and Celle all have one thing in common: team spirit. We work with dedication, a sense of responsibility—and plenty of drive.

Future-proof jobs with opportunities for growth

When you join us, you’re choosing a future-proof job with state-of-the-art IT equipment and flexible working conditions. Working from home, flex time, a comprehensive health management program, and an additional company pension plan are standard benefits here. We also offer a wide range of professional development opportunities—because we invest not only in technology, but above all in people.
