About the role

This role is suited for a technically strong professional with experience in groundwater hydrology, contaminant hydrogeology, field investigations, groundwater flow and contaminant transport modeling, and technical reporting.
Why this role matters Water is often a defining factor in how mining, infrastructure, energy, and environmental projects are planned, permitted, operated, and closed.
As a Senior Hydrogeologist, you will help clients understand groundwater systems, evaluate uncertainty, and turn field data, project constraints, and models into practical recommendations.

Lead or support hydrogeology, mine water, groundwater, and environmental projects.
Interpret monitoring and testing data and develop conceptual hydrogeologic models.
Develop, apply, or review groundwater flow and contaminant transport models.
Manage technical tasks or projects, including schedules, budgets, deliverables, and quality.
Mining experience is strongly valued, particularly in mine water management, dewatering, depressurization, seepage, closure, permitting support, and hydrogeologic support for mine planning and operations.
Your work will support mine water management, groundwater characterization, dewatering strategy, contaminant transport assessment, permitting, closure planning, and risk management.
Experience developing or interpreting conceptual hydrogeologic models.
Ability to work independently on complex assignments and manage scope, schedule, and budget.
Ability to support proposals, work programs, and client development.

Required Advanced degree in hydrogeology, geochemistry, environmental engineering, or a related field.
Approximately 10-20 years of relevant professional experience.
Proven technical excellence and sound professional judgment in hydrogeology or a related field.
Professional registration by a recognized organization, or ability to obtain registration where required.
Experience with hydrogeologic field investigations, groundwater monitoring, aquifer or hydraulic testing, and data interpretation.
