• Assisting in the creation of detailed conceptual site models that consider environmental, social, and financial factors.
• Helping translate complex scientific information into clear, accessible reports and presentations for clients, regulators, and stakeholders.
• Working alongside hydrogeological, hydrological, and geotechnical field teams, and assisting with field activities when needed.
• Collaborating with team members across all levels, contributing to project progress, supporting junior staff, and communicating findings effectively.

• A master’s degree or higher in geology, geological or civil engineering, physical geography, or a related field, with a focus on hydrogeology or environmental engineering.
• Experience with groundwater numerical modeling, preferably using FEFLOW™.
• Familiarity with coding, statistics, and uncertainty analysis.
• Experience with geological modeling software such as Leapfrog™.
• Self‑motivated individual with the ability to work independently as well as part of a team.
• Willingness and ability to spend extended periods in the field under varying conditions.
• Strong writing, oral, and presentation skills.
• Professional registration in BC or current eligibility to obtain it.
• Valid driver’s license valid for use in Canada with a good driving record.
