We are looking for a Hydrologist to join our environmental science team and contribute to the study and management of water resources. As a Hydrologist, you will analyze how water moves across and through the Earth's crust, assess water quality, and help solve problems related to water availability and contamination. Your work will support sustainable water use, flood risk management, and environmental protection efforts.
In this role, you will collect and analyze data on rainfall, streamflow, groundwater levels, and water quality. You will use computer models and geographic information systems (GIS) to simulate water movement and predict future water conditions. Your findings will inform the design of water management systems, environmental impact assessments, and policy recommendations.
Hydrologists work in a variety of settings, including government agencies, environmental consulting firms, research institutions, and non-profit organizations. Fieldwork is a key component of the job, often requiring travel to remote locations to gather samples and monitor water systems. You will also spend time in the office analyzing data, writing reports, and collaborating with engineers, ecologists, and policymakers.
To succeed as a Hydrologist, you should have a strong background in earth sciences, environmental science, or civil engineering, with specialized knowledge in hydrology. You must be comfortable working with data, using modeling software, and communicating complex scientific information to diverse audiences. A passion for environmental stewardship and problem-solving is essential.
This position offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on water sustainability and environmental health. If you are analytical, detail-oriented, and committed to protecting natural resources, we encourage you to apply.
