Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct hydrogeological investigations, including groundwater sampling, aquifer testing, and well installation oversight.
• Conduct surface water quality and quantity (i.e., streamflow) sampling and monitoring of rivers, streams and wetlands as well as analyze and assess/evaluate the respective data,
• Analyze groundwater flow, aquifer properties, and water quality using field data, laboratory results, and modeling software.
• Prepare hydrogeological maps, cross-sections, and conceptual site models.
• Assess groundwater availability, sustainability, and potential contamination risks.
• Support environmental assessments, permitting, and regulatory compliance related to water resources.
• Design and interpret groundwater monitoring programs for industrial, agricultural, and environmental projects.
• Write technical reports, proposals, and presentations summarizing findings and recommendations.
• Stay current on groundwater regulations, emerging contaminants, and best management practices for the agricultural industry.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Geology, Hydrogeology, Environmental Science, or related field.
• Professional Geologist (PG) or related licensure/certification preferred or ability to obtain.
• Strong knowledge of hydrogeological principles, groundwater/surface water interactions, and contaminant transport.
• Proficiency with GIS applications such as ArcPro.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office
• Field experience with groundwater sampling, drilling oversight, aquifer testing, and monitoring well installation.
• Excellent analytical, technical writing, and communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.
• Strong passion to learn and excel within the profession.

Work Environment:

This role typically involves both office-based work (data analysis, analytical modeling, reporting) and fieldwork (site investigations, sampling, and monitoring). Travel to project sites may be required.
