Job description

Are you an experienced Hydrogeologist looking to take the next step in your career? We're looking for a Senior Hydrogeologist to join our growing team. We are open to filling this position in our Mount Pearl, NL office.

At GEMTEC, we offer something different. We're a perfect sized employee-owned, 400-person multi-disciplinary consulting firm that is large enough to compete head-to-head with publicly traded engineering giants, but still small enough to maintain the culture and flexibility of a close-knit team.

Our size and hands-on management style let us move quickly, embrace new opportunities, and empower our people to shape their own careers - without getting lost in corporate bureaucracy.

We would love to talk to you if you:

• Have the ability to work in a fast-paced, multi-disciplinary environment
• Enjoy contributing as both a team player and a leader and thrive in a collaborative environment
• Approach your work in an organized and efficient way, with a strong focus on quality outcomes
• Are an effective communicator, with well-developed interpersonal, verbal, and written skills
• Experience leading, mentoring, or supporting others—or a strong interest in developing these skills and helping people grow.

A typical day on the job might look like:

• Provide technical support and oversight to a wide variety of physical hydrogeology projects and prepare proposals and reports in collaboration with other senior staff (including hydrogeological, contaminated sites, geotechnical, surface water, etc.).
• Design and oversee field investigations such as drilling, coring and test pitting logging; soil and bedrock description and characterization; monitoring well and groundwater/surface water instrumentation installation; single- and multi-well pumping tests; soil, groundwater, sediment and surface water sampling; infiltration rate testing; and private well monitoring.
• Lead and assist junior and intermediate staff preparing technical proposals and reports, including hydrogeological characterization assessments; impact assessments, groundwater supply and source water protection studies and approvals; quarry, mine pit and construction dewatering assessments and permitting; water balance assessments; and groundwater and surface water interaction and monitoring programs. Provide technical review of hydrogeological deliverables.
• Provide mentorship and technical coaching to junior technical staff.
• Developing and maintaining relationships with clients.
• Provide senior support and leadership within Newfoundland and Labrador operations; may include staff / team lead opportunities.
• Engage with our senior leaders in the Atlantic and Ontario business, providing input, developing and leading strategic initiatives.

The good stuff you get:

• Fair pay plus extra: competitive salary with year-end profit-sharing bonus.
• Complete health & dental coverage including vision, paramedical services, and Teladoc.
• Retirement planning made easier with a 5% employer match on your contributions.
• Paid time off (vacation and sick days) plus Employee & Family Assistance Program when you need it.
• Office year-end closure (paid time off between Christmas and the New Year).

Your background and what you bring:

• Bachelor's degree in earth science, environmental science or geological/geotechnical/civil engineering with an emphasis in water resources and hydrogeology. A post-graduate degree is considered an asset.
• Professional license in NL (i.e., P.Geo. or P.Eng.)
• Minimum 12 years of relevant professional experience (preferably in consulting).
• Thorough knowledge and understanding of provincial and federal regulatory frameworks for groundwater withdrawal/use, drinking water supply, contaminated sites assessment and management, and environmental assessment is required.
• Familiarity with infrastructure, pit and quarry, and community supply required. Specific experience in the mining industry is considered an asset.
• Groundwater flow and transport modeling experience is an asset.
• Numerical and advanced hydraulic testing experience is an asset.
• Senior project management and people management skills are required.
• Valid driver's license
