Mott MacDonald
Project Scientist - Hydrogeologic Analyst and Modeler
Mott MacDonald, Seattle, Washington, us, 98127
Employer:
Mott MacDonald Group Inc.
Title:
Project Scientist - Hydrogeologic Analyst and Modeler
Location:
1601 5th Avenue, Suite 800, Seattle, WA, 98101
Duties:
Interpret and analyze various forms of geologic and hydrogeologic data to build conceptual models of groundwater flow systems. Design and conduct scientific hydrogeological investigations to ensure that accurate and appropriate information is available for use in water resource management decisions. Conduct research and communicate information to promote the conservation and preservation of water resources. Study and document quantities, distribution, disposition, and development of underground and surface waters. Study and analyze the physical aspects of the earth in terms of hydrological components, including atmosphere, hydrosphere, and interior structure. Develop technical documentation and presentations. Work independently and with senior staff, exercising professional judgment to develop and recommend solutions that meet client expectations and goals. Manage and conduct aquifer tests of production wells to evaluate aquifer properties and long-term yield. Apply technical, quantitative, and hydrogeologic knowledge of groundwater occurrence and pumping impact analysis, well hydraulics, groundwater/surface water interaction, recharge and infiltration investigations, and seawater intrusion. Develop groundwater flow models to represent hydrogeologic systems, perform hydrologic impact analysis and simulate contaminant fate and transport. Develop digital code to manage data and improve the efficiency of hydrogeologic analysis and groundwater flow modeling. Communicate analytical results to clients. Manage junior-level staff. Position reports into Seattle office; however, telecommuting from a home office may be allowed.
Requirements:
Requires a Master's in Hydrogeology, Hydrological Sciences, Natural Resource Sciences or a directly related field plus three (3) years of experience as a Hydrogeologist, or related occupation involving experience in groundwater flow modeling.
Experience may be gained concurrently through professional experience or post-graduate level academic research and must include:
Three (3) years in each of the following:Applying understanding of hydrogeological principles and practicesDeveloping hydrogeological conceptual models and geologic framework modelsApplying the theory of aquifer hydraulics and well hydraulics, contaminant fate and transport, and numerical methods in groundwater modelingDeveloping hydrogeologic reportsDeveloping numerical groundwater flow modelsApplying programming skills to automate model proceduresApplying inverse methods to model calibrationPerforming sensitivity and uncertainty analysesCoding for data and software management using R, MATLAB, or Python.
Two (2) years in the following:Simulating groundwater contamination or density driven groundwater flow.
Salary:
$117,707 - $120,000/year. Please submit resumes to:
