Full Time Groundwater Modeling information

What is the difference between Full Time Groundwater Modeling vs Hydrologist?

AspectFull Time Groundwater ModelingHydrologist
Required CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Hydrogeology, Geology, or Environmental Science; proficiency in modeling softwareBachelor's or Master's in Hydrology, Geology, or Environmental Science; strong analytical skills
Work EnvironmentEnvironmental consulting firms, government agencies, research institutionsResearch institutions, government agencies, environmental consulting
Industry UsageDesigning groundwater models, analyzing aquifer systems, water resource managementStudying water cycles, assessing water availability, environmental impact assessments

Full Time Groundwater Modeling focuses on creating and analyzing models of groundwater systems, often requiring specialized software skills. Hydrologists have a broader scope, studying water movement and availability. While both roles work in environmental and water resource sectors, groundwater modelers specialize in simulation and data analysis, whereas hydrologists focus on field studies and water cycle processes.

Job description

Description
As a part of the Remediation Department within Burns & McDonnell's Environmental Services group, the Senior Hydrogeologist/Groundwater Modeler will support a wide variety of projects involving clean and contaminated groundwater on a nationwide/global basis. The Senior Hydrogeologist/Groundwater Modeler will have exemplary skills and knowledge of Hydrogeology including an extensive and practical expertise with the MODFLOW suite of software, and the ability to apply those skills to real-world projects involving groundwater flow, contaminant transport, and soil/groundwater contaminant remediation in a variety of geologic settings. Additional experience with Leapfrog is preferred. Technical knowledge, leadership, and communications skills are key aspects of this position. Individuals should be team-focused and should be well-connected in the water and environmental industry, with the ability to expand our client base.
Responsibilities:
  • Provide senior technical support for a variety of projects including groundwater flow in complex geologic settings, contaminant fate and transport modeling, geospatial data analysis and visualization, contaminant hydrogeology, groundwater remediation, hydrogeological assessments, groundwater sustainability, permitting and environmental impact assessments.
  • Demonstrate proficiency in developing, calibrating, and running both steady-state and transient groundwater flow models using various MODFLOW versions, including MODFLOW-2005, USG, and MODFLOW 6, is highly desirable. Be adept at utilizing associated programs for particle tracking (MODPATH) and flow budget analysis (ZONEBUDGET) and have a strong background in model calibration and uncertainty analysis, utilizing software such as PEST.
  • Experience in characterizing the physical and hydraulic properties of the vadose zone and applying numerical models, such as HYDRUS or the MODFLOW Unsaturated-Zone Flow (UZF) Package, to simulate water movement and contaminant transport is preferred.
  • Proficiency in programming and scripting, preferably with python, for data analysis and model automation is desired.
  • Collaborate closely with Geologists, Engineers, Project Managers, and Program Managers.
  • Manage, design, execute, and supervise groundwater data analysis and groundwater modeling scopes on multidisciplinary projects, including Hydrogeologic Investigations, Feasibility Studies, development of Conceptual Site Models, Regulatory Compliance and Permitting; and Soil and Groundwater Contaminant Remediation.
  • Prepare and/or provide senior review of technical correspondence, project scope and cost proposals, technical reports, memorandums, work plans, and project specifications.
  • Project management and execution, including the development and maintenance of project scopes, schedules and budgets, and coordination of team members.
  • Communicate effectively with peers, clients, and regulators; demonstrate strong written, verbal, computer, and interpersonal skills.
  • Support team business development activities including client interaction and customer relationship management, contribute to business development plans, identify markets/potential clients and related sales targets, and assist the team in preparing responses to Requests For Proposals and Request For Qualifications.
  • Train, mentor, and develop junior and intermediate staff.
  • All other duties as assigned.

Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Geology, Hydrogeology, or a related field from an accredited curriculum.
  • Minimum 8 years related experience showing proficiency in hydrogeological field investigations, aquifer analysis, and well design.
  • Ten years of experience in hydrogeology and groundwater modeling projects preferred.
  • Extensive experience with building, calibrating, and optimizing numerical groundwater flow and contaminant transport models using commercial modeling software, (such as MODFLOW, MT3D, and Groundwater Vistas).
  • Outstanding understanding of hydrogeology and its applications.
  • Ability to present complex technical information clearly, both verbally and in writing.
  • Supervisory, project management, and client management experience.
  • Aptitude, capability, and inclination to train, mentor, and develop junior and intermediate staff.
  • Professional Geologist and/or Certified Hydrogeologist registration, or eligibility for registration is desirable.

This job posting will remain open a minimum of 72 hours and on an ongoing basis until filled.
