Sole geology consultant.
Explanation:
"Consultants" tend to work on a contract basis, whereas "advisors" can be employed on a long-term basis by the firms they work for, which does not seem to be the case here.
"Sole" is a neutral word which collocates with "consultant" (or "adviser"), while "plenipotentiary" is usually for roles in governments or other institutions (president, minister, ambassador, etc.).
"Geology" can be used to define "consultant", so you do not need to write "in geology" after "consultant" but you can integrate it in your phrase.

Explanation:
Sorry, I've already posted an answer in a wrong pair

One may translate "unico" as "sole" but, to me, it sounds ambiguous and even slightly silly – fit for a dating site :)))
