• Create conceptual site models (CSMs) to analyze and interpret hydrogeological information.
• Construct, calibrate, and operate 3D numerical groundwater models.
• Prepare hydrogeological technical reports for submission to clients and regulators.
• Work with multidisciplinary teams to integrate hydrogeological findings and interpretations with those of other scientific, planning, and engineering disciplines.
• Help ensure successful project delivery with respect to health & safety, scope, schedule, budget, QA/QC, and client satisfaction.
• Undertake occasional field work and help oversee the collection of information by junior scientists/hydro geologists.
• Prepare proposals and contribute to the development and execution of service line, business sector, and client business development plans.

• Working knowledge of MODFLOW and demonstrated ability to construct, calibrate, and operate groundwater models with minimal supervision.
• Familiarity with software packages such as Leapfrog, Groundwater Vistas, FEFLOW, Python, Aqtesolv, and Surfer would be considered an asset.

• Working knowledge of provincial, local and industry specific regulations and guidelines.
• Experience with the design, supervision, and analysis of aquifer testing and monitoring programs to characterize the physical and geochemical characteristics of the subsurface environment.
