Hydrogeologist/Hydrologist

Primary Responsibilities

• Support hydrogeology and surface water hydrology projects in the environmental services industry
• Conduct field investigations, including aquifer testing, surface water discharge gauging, and geologic logging/mapping
• Develop and apply numerical groundwater flow and transport models in support of project permitting, industrial development, and site remediation
• Execute technical investigations for hydrologic characterization of groundwater systems in environments comprised of unconsolidated deposits, sedimentary rock, and fractured crystalline rock
• Develop and apply numerical groundwater flow, constituent transport, and surface water hydrology/hydraulic models, including work in unconsolidated, sedimentary, fractured rock, and deep bedrock environments
• Develop technical investigation plans for hydrologic characterization of groundwater systems in environments comprised of unconsolidated deposits, sedimentary rock, and fractured crystalline rock
• Develop technical reports and memos to support the permitting of natural resource development projects
• Provide construction support and administration

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or related engineering
• Professional experience performing hydrogeological and hydrologic investigations, analysis, and modeling, through internships or co-ops
• Technical writing and report preparation experience
• Proficiency with groundwater and surface water modeling tools, such as MODFLOW/MT3D, FEFLOW, HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, XP-SWMM, or similar numerical codes

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Water Resources Engineering, Geology, or a related field, with 2+ years of experience in water resources or hydrogeology, preferably supporting mining applications
• Experience developing and applying numerical groundwater flow, constituent transport, and surface water hydrology/hydraulic models, including work in unconsolidated, sedimentary, fractured rock, and deep bedrock environments
• Experience planning, coordinating, and executing hydrogeologic and hydrologic field investigations, including packer testing, multi-well aquifer testing, and analysis of field and large data sets
• Demonstrated ability to perform data analysis, statistical/probabilistic modeling, and time-series forecasting for hydrologic and hydrogeologic systems
• Experience integrating hydrogeologic and hydrologic analyses with feasibility studies, alternatives analyses, and mine permitting efforts
• Familiarity with NEPA processes and documentation and mine permitting in the United States
