Description

Summary: Seeking an experienced groundwater modeling specialist to develop and manage complex hydrogeological models, analyze data, and provide expert recommendations for water resource planning and environmental impact assessments. Highlights: 1. Lead groundwater modeling tasks within multidisciplinary projects 2. Develop conceptual and numerical hydrogeological models 3. Interpret model outputs and provide practical recommendations Key Responsibilities * Develop conceptual hydrogeological models based on geological, hydrological, geophysical, and hydrogeological data. * Build, calibrate, validate, and update numerical groundwater flow and transport models using industry\-standard software. * Simulate groundwater flow, recharge, aquifer responses, contaminant migration, saltwater intrusion, and dewatering scenarios. * Conduct predictive modeling for water resource planning, infrastructure development, and environmental impact assessments. * Perform sensitivity analyses, uncertainty assessments, and model optimization studies. * Evaluate groundwater abstraction impacts and aquifer sustainability under various development scenarios. * Support groundwater remediation and contaminant transport studies through advanced numerical simulations. * Prepare model documentation in accordance with international standards and regulatory requirements. Technical Analysis * Analyze pumping test data, groundwater monitoring data, and aquifer performance. * Integrate geological, geotechnical, hydrological, and geophysical information into groundwater models. * Assess groundwater recharge, storage, flow dynamics, and water balance components. * Interpret model outputs and provide practical recommendations to clients and stakeholders. * Review and verify third\-party groundwater models and technical reports. Project Management * Lead groundwater modeling tasks within multidisciplinary projects. * Develop project methodologies, work plans, schedules, and technical proposals. * Coordinate with hydrogeologists, geologists, environmental scientists, engineers, and GIS specialists. * Monitor project progress, budgets, and deliverables. * Ensure timely completion of modeling assignments and technical reports. Reporting and Documentation * Prepare and review technical reports, model development reports, impact assessments, and feasibility studies. * Present technical findings to clients, regulatory agencies, and project stakeholders. * Maintain model files, databases, and quality\-controlled documentation. * Provide technical support during project meetings, workshops, and presentations. Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment (QHSE) * Ensure compliance with company QHSE procedures and project requirements. * Adhere to regulatory and environmental standards governing groundwater management. * Promote best practices in sustainable groundwater resource management. Qualifications * Bachelor's degree in Hydrogeology, Geology, Water Resources Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Earth Sciences, or a related discipline. * Master's degree in Hydrogeology, Water Resources, Environmental Engineering, or related field (preferred). Experience * Minimum 10 years of experience in groundwater modeling and hydrogeological investigations. * Demonstrated experience in large\-scale groundwater flow and contaminant transport modeling projects.. * Experience in arid and semi\-arid environments, particularly within the GCC and Middle East region, is preferred.
