Analytical Hydrologist/GoldSim Specialist at Stantec in Chandler, AZ
Description At our core, we're a community. Together, we exercise creative thought, developing engineering and designs as individual as the people and projects we touch. From approval and permitting to design and construction management services, we put the goals of our clients and their communities at the center of everything we create. Join us as we assist mining companies in getting mined materials to communities around the globe. Your Opportunity Stantec is seeking qualified candidates for an analytical hydrologist/GoldSim Specialist to join our mining team. The position is open for either Salt Lake City, Utah or Chandler, Arizona. The primary focus of this position is to serve U.S. and international-based mining clients with water resources and water management projects. The candidate will focus on performing analytical hydrological evaluations related to water balance calculations and unsaturated flow modeling for mining clients during operations and closure-related activities. The position requires expertise with developing and simulating physical hydrology processes (evapotranspiration, soil moisture, snowmelt, and energy balance principles). Experience with unsaturated flow modeling and long-term daily runoff generation principles are highly desired. Candidates with demonstrated experience in GoldSim are preferred. Candidates that have experience developing HYDRUS or other long-duration soil moisture models are also encouraged to apply. The candidate must demonstrate the ownership in the development and execution of modeling projects with limited oversite. This includes gathering and generating the data needed to drive water balance models, which may include inputs from other modeling software. The candidate is also required to communicate the results of these calculations clearly and to both engineers and scientists. Such inputs include climatological data (precipitation, temperature, wind speed, radiation, etc.), generation of daily flow values, and climate change responses to such parameters. For all the above related activities, the candidate will support the development of technical reports and for proposals for future work. This position interacts throughout the organization internally and externally with clients and members of business and professional organizations. Candidates demonstrating ability and interest in measuring and collecting field data are preferred. Your Key Responsibilities Focus on development and evaluation of site-wide water balance studies using the GoldSim modeling platform for mine properties in diverse climates. Support the development and evaluation of soil moisture and seepage studies using HYDRUS for mine properties in diverse climates. Support rainfall-runoff modeling and traditional engineering stormwater controls using HEC-HMS. Developing modeling inputs, which may require developing algorithms to calculate inputs to these related software platforms. Developing technical reports and calculation summaries to support projects. Ability to present findings both to internal collaborators and external clients, regulatory agencies, and others. Supporting multiple projects concurrently. Qualifications Your Capabilities and Credentials Required Experience with GoldSim is highly desired for this position. Experience with HYDRUS is preferred. Experience with HEC-HMS is preferred. Ability to use and develop algorithms in Python is preferred. Experience in R or MATLAB is acceptable. Experience with spatial data management using ArcGIS, QGIS, and/or AutoCad Civil 3D. Exceptional technical writing skills, organizational skills, technical leadership abilities, oral communication skills, and attention to detail. Ability to work independently and co-lead projects. Demonstrate safe work when traveling to the field. Travel may be required. MSHA and/or OSHA training preferred. Education and Experience Minimum of a M.S. in Hydrology, Civil Engineering, or related fields. Candidates with a thesis or published journal articles are preferred. 5 years of experience working on projects relevant to the listed position description. Candidates with 10 years of experience are also encouraged to apply. Professional Engineer (P.E.) or Engineer in Training (EIT) is preferred. The position will not focus on groundwater measurements or modeling. This description is not a comprehensive listing of activities, duties or responsibilities that may be required of the employee and other duties, responsibilities and activities may be assigned or may be changed at any time with or without notice.
