Job description

Job Summary

We are looking for highly analytical researchers who are comfortable undertaking both office and fieldwork. Hydrologists can expect to wade in waters to collect soil and water samples, analyze a variety of water-related data sources, create data models to make predictions about water scarcity and floods, and produce highly detailed reports based on their findings.

Hydrologists combine quantitative rigor with environmental curiosity to become water scientists. They adopt a holistic approach to studying water by placing it at the intersection of water, society, and government policy.

Responsibilities

• Analyze surface and groundwater movement, distribution, and quality.
• Determining water pollution levels.
• Conduct field investigations, collect water and soil samples, and monitor hydrological conditions.
• Measuring water properties to determine pH levels, volume, and flow.
• Modeling data to predict the occurrences of floods, pollution, and water scarcity.
• Determining the best means of water maintenance, management, and conservation.
• Making use of historical data on water usage.
• Assess the impact of climate change, land use, and pollution on water systems.
• Provide technical reports, research papers, and policy recommendations.
• Collaborate with environmental agencies, government bodies, and stakeholders.
• Support infrastructure projects by evaluating water-related risks.
• Use GIS and remote sensing tools to analyze hydrological data.

Requirements

• Bachelor s or Master degree in Hydrology, geosciences, Civil engineering or related field.
• 3+ Experience in hydrological research, water resource management, or related fields.
• Proficient in mathematics and statistics.
• Proficiency in hydrological modeling software (e.g., HEC-RAS, SWAT, MODFLOW).
• Knowledge of GIS applications and remote sensing for hydrological studies.
• Trained in data modeling and forecasting.
• Knowledge of environmental law and government policy.
• Experience with digital mapping software.
• Excellent written and verbal communication.
• Ability to prepare technical reports and present findings.
• Strong analytical, problem solving, and field research skills.
