In this role, you will primarily support the mining sector to design and implement site characterization efforts, analyze data, and develop conceptual models to help progress projects through site investigation, remedial evaluation, and toward closure. The successful candidate will work with project teams to establish data needs, evaluate available information, and deliver key projects to exceed client expectations. Work will include a balance of hydrogeologic evaluation, project scoping and proposal development, and report writing.

Arcadis offers a flexible working environment and follows a hybrid work structure. A successful candidate will work remotely and from the office based on demands of project and client teams. This role will primarily be office based but will also include field assignments and require the ability to travel up to 10%.

Qualifications

• A strong hydrogeologic skillset (e.g., proficiency interpreting geologic conditions, aquifer hydraulics, high resolution water level data sets).
• Experience conducting contaminant fate and transport analyses (e.g., constituent concentration profiles, temporal and spatial constituent concentration variability, plume stability evaluation, capture zone analysis, analytical or numerical contaminant fate and transport analysis).
• Experience evaluating groundwater-surface water interactions.
• Prior experience supporting mining projects and familiarity with inorganic/metals chemistry.
• Proficiency using hydrogeologic modeling software (e.g., AQTESOLV, MODFLOW, Groundwater Vistas, HEC Software).

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
