About the role

  • Senior hydrogeologist developing groundwater models for ITASCA’s mining, environmental, and water-resource consulting projects. Reviewing technical work, mentoring modelers, and supporting mine water decisions across Canada.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, calibrate, apply, and review numerical groundwater flow models for mining, environmental, and water-resource projects
  • Support modeling for mine dewatering, depressurization, pit and underground working inflows, groundwater recovery, contaminant transport, seepage, closure, and water management
  • Develop and interpret conceptual hydrogeologic models using geology, field data, monitoring records, hydraulic testing, groundwater chemistry, and project constraints
  • Evaluate model assumptions, calibration, uncertainty, sensitivity, limitations, and implications for client decisions
  • Prepare technical reports, model documentation, presentations, proposals, scopes of work, budgets, and work plans
  • Serve as a technical reviewer and internal resource for groundwater modeling quality
  • Mentor junior and intermediate staff in modeling methods, hydrogeologic interpretation, and technical communication
  • Work independently on complex assignments and manage modeling tasks or projects
  • Collaborate with hydrogeologists, geomechanics engineers, engineering geologists, geochemists, data scientists, and software developers
  • Improve ITASCA’s modeling skills, workflows, training materials, and technical capabilities
  • Support MINEDW code development, feature improvements, user training materials, and marketing content as appropriate

Requirements

  • Advanced degree in hydrogeology, geochemistry, environmental engineering, or a related field
  • Approximately 10–20 years of relevant professional experience
  • Proven record of technical excellence in groundwater flow modeling
  • Strong experience developing, calibrating, applying, and interpreting numerical groundwater models
  • Experience with conceptual hydrogeologic models, hydrogeologic data interpretation, and model documentation
  • Ability to critically evaluate model assumptions, calibration, uncertainty, sensitivity, and limitations
  • Experience working independently on complex technical assignments
  • Ability to supervise, manage, mentor, and review the work of others
  • Strong technical writing, verbal communication, and presentation skills
  • Ability to support proposals, work programs, and client communication
  • Experience with MINEDW, MODFLOW, FEFLOW, HydroGeoSphere, MIKE SHE, Groundwater Vistas, MT3D/transport modeling tools, PEST, or related modeling platforms
  • Mining industry experience, particularly mine dewatering, depressurization, pit inflow, pore-pressure estimation, water balance, closure, groundwater recovery, or operational hydrogeology
  • Experience with finite-element and/or finite-difference groundwater modeling approaches
  • Experience with contaminant transport modeling, parameter estimation, uncertainty analysis, sensitivity analysis, or stochastic modeling
  • Programming or scripting experience using Python, R, VBA, or similar tools
  • Experience with GIS, 3-D visualization, large datasets, database tools, or model pre/post-processing workflows
  • Experience with field investigation design, aquifer testing, hydraulic testing, groundwater monitoring, or data collection programs
  • Experience developing modeling workflows, training materials, software documentation, or user-facing technical materials
  • Professional registration by a recognized organization, or ability to obtain registration where required

Benefits

  • Performance bonuses, including cash and company stock
  • Health, dental, and vision benefits for you and your family
  • Generous paid time off from day one
  • Paid holidays
  • Company-paid short-term disability, long-term disability, and life insurance
