My client is looking for a Senior Hydrogeologist. This position is less focused on drilling program execution and more centered around ongoing groundwater monitoring programs, hydrogeological interpretation, conceptual model development, and technical reporting associated with baseline and mining-related projects throughout BC.
The successful candidate will play a key role supporting ongoing project work, helping clients understand groundwater systems, identify trends and anomalies, and support regulatory and project decision-making through clear, defensible technical analysis.
Remote / WFH / Hybrid: Choice of 100% remote or hybrid within any western regional offices. (Must already live in Canada. International applications are not accepted)
Travel: <5% in western Canada & Yukon (oversight & training, conferences)
Salary: $100k - $146k DOE, plus health benefits, RRSP matching, annual performance bonuses AND annual profit-sharing bonuses (The final salary will reflect the qualifications, relevant experience, expertise, and professional designations that each candidate brings to the role.
