Our work environment fosters personal and professional growth for employees by providing autonomy, a clear vision, and the ability to master their skill set.

What’s the Opportunity?

We are seeking a managing/senior level scientist or engineer to oversee modeling, quantitative hydrogeology, geochemistry and fate and transport work for a variety of environmental and restoration projects nationwide.

Responsibilities:

• Lead and/or perform modeling work for a wide variety of projects involving groundwater flow, contaminant fate and transport, and groundwater/surface water interactions
• Mentor junior and mid-level scientists and engineers in groundwater modeling, environmental hydrogeology and contaminant fate and transport
• Evaluate field data that influence chemical fate and transport in groundwater, including analysis of hydraulic field test results; environmental sampling results; soil, sediment and rock physical characteristics
• Interpret and quantify groundwater flow, porewater discharge in sediment, and the fate and transport of dissolved-phase constituents under the influence of groundwater/surface water interactions

What Are We Looking For? 

Ideal candidates will have the following:

• Master’s level or Ph.D. degree, with a PG or PE
• At least 10 years of experience
• Excellent written communication skills
• Strong groundwater modeling expertise, including flow, biogeochemical reactive transport of organic and inorganic constituents, and simulation of remedial alternatives – experience with multiple of the following codes: MODFLOW/MODPATH, MT3DMS, RT3D, PHREEQC, PHT3D, PHAST, PEST and common graphical user interfaces (GW Vistas, etc.)
• Experience in field data collection supporting environmental site characterization and remediation projects
• Familiarity with PFAS issues in groundwater, including fate and transport and remedial alternatives
• Experience with NAPL site assessment and remediation, including NAPL mobility and dissolution principles
• In-depth understanding of biogeochemical processes and interactions in soil and sediment environments
• Experience with Python programming (familiarity with other structured programming language such and FORTRAN or C# is a plus)

What Can You Expect? 

A collegial work environment; competitive salary, bonus program, and excellent benefits, including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, and long-term disability); generous retirement plan match; and vacation/sick leave.
