Hydrogeology Intern – Energy & Resources; Summer

Learning begins in the classroom but there’s no better place to gain real-world experience than with Stantec. Interns are an integral part of our teams, working to solve some of the world’s most complex challenges.

As an intern, you’ll work alongside our experienced practitioners and with our clients and communities. This hands‑on experience will equip you with practical skills, build your network, and provide opportunities that set you up for success.

At our core, we’re a community. Together, we exercise creative thought, developing engineering and designs as individual as the people and projects we touch. From approval and permitting to design and construction management services, we put the goals of our clients and their communities at the center of everything we create. Join us as we assist mining companies in getting mined materials to communities around the globe.

Our Global Mining team has a need for a Hydrogeology Intern based out of our office in Chandler, AZ. You would work within our mining, minerals and metals team in support of various clients in completing exciting hydrogeology and/or water resources engineering projects related to underground and surface mining operations, conceptual and numerical groundwater modeling, water balance modeling, and field studies.

Additional opportunities may include work on other projects such as aquifer storage and recovery, water supply, well installation and testing, and water management.

• Work with a multi-discipline hydrogeology, hydrology, and engineering team on a day-to-day basis.
• Participate in team meetings and project meetings.
• Actively engage with project team members such as project managers and project technical leads to complete tasks.
• Contribute to development of hydrogeologic conceptual and numerical groundwater models with required supervision commensurate with your level of experience. Specific tasks may include:
  • Pre- and post- processing of model inputs and results
  • Evaluating model calibration performance and sensitivity
• Contribute to the development and application of site-wide water balance models with appropriate supervision. Specific tasks may include:
• Organizing and pre-processing climate, hydrology, hydrogeology, and operational data for model inputs
• Developing and checking model inputs, assumptions, and flow pathways
• Reviewing model outputs and supporting quality assurance, sensitivity, and scenario analyses
• Collect and/or analyze field data including:
  • Well installation and drilling data
  • Pumping test analysis
  • Well sampling
• Contribute to the preparation of quality technical documents and/or drawings.
• Produce technical report or presentation to project team on a specific project which you’ll be assigned.
