• Contribute to proposals and business development initiatives.

Technical Leadership

• Lead hydrogeological groundwater assessments, including evaluation of groundwater rise and long-term impacts on infrastructure.
• Interpret and review packer tests, falling/rising head tests, and pumping test data to assess aquifer parameters, safe yield, and well performance.
• Develop, calibrate, and review 3D groundwater flow and solute transport models (MODFLOW 6 work experience (GMS and Python-based modelling),  MT3DMS, FEFLOW, or equivalent).
• Perform water balance and mass balance assessments to support sustainable groundwater management.
• Apply GIS tools (ArcGIS, QGIS) and Python/FloPy to enhance data analysis, visualization, and modelling workflows.
