Intermediate to Senior Groundwater Modeller
Due to our recent growth and large forward workload, we are looking for a Groundwater Modeller to join the Water Resources Team.
You will be providing technical services in the following areas:
Develop MODFLOW based groundwater flow models – including integrating surface water and groundwater models.
Use numerical modelling to simulate hydrological systems ranging from farm to watershed scale and predict effects of natural or anthropogenic changes.
Use analytical modelling methods for water balance type assessments using climatic and physical characteristics and simple calculations for groundwater modelling inputs and/or simple effects assessments.
This opportunity would suit the type of person who considers themselves a ‘go getter’, a person inherently self-motivated and driven, and one who truly believes in the concept that ‘success breeds success’.
Key Attributes for a successful candidate
Bachelor or preferably a Masters of Science or Engineering, or equivalent relevant level tertiary education.
5+ years’ professional experience working in groundwater modelling research and/or related consulting roles.
Advanced knowledge of hydrogeological and groundwater modelling concepts.
Knowledge and experience in using PYTHON or other code to process data and optimise workflow.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including technical writing and project and client management.
Experience dealing with a range of clients and stakeholders, including local authorities, government bodies and commercial companies.
