  • Baseline characterization studies, effects assessments, and water management analyses to support environmental assessments and other development planning initiatives.
  • Modelling assessments to support the design and implementation of development works, including stormwater management plans, floodplains and flood mitigation, and industrial and mining water management plans.
  • Conceptual and detailed design.
  • Water-related permitting and regulatory approval activities.
  • Environmental monitoring and inspections during construction.
• Implement desktop-based analyses that involve hydrologic and hydraulic modelling analyses, climate change analyses, compilation and interpretation of water quality and hydrometric data, and hydrotechnical and hydrogeological modelling investigations (to assess surface water and groundwater flow, interaction, availability, etc.).
• Contribute to technical reports, proposals, and other key client deliverables.
• Opportunity to support hydrogeology projects with groundwater-related analyses and modelling.
• Develop positive working relationships in a highly dynamic and supportive team environment.
• Provide creative and innovative solutions for projects by staying current/up-to-speed on relevant regulatory drivers, emerging technologies, and market demands.
