ZT01
Water Resources Experience (preferred)
- Plan, facilitate, and execute groundwater investigations, including desktop studies, aquifer testing, and data interpretation
- Design, oversee, and analyze aquifer tests (pumping, step-drawdown, slug tests) to estimate aquifer parameters
- Evaluate site geology and regional geologic setting to understand how subsurface conditions may influence groundwater occurrence, aquifer behavior, recharge potential, storage, flow direction, water quality, well performance, and project feasibility
- Prepare and support groundwater source adequacy, water availability, and well capacity evaluations for development projects
- Review and interpret well completion reports, driller’s logs, geologic maps, boring logs, pump test data, static and pumping water levels, well production records, and available local groundwater data
- Develop or review water demand estimates and compare existing/proposed demands to available water supply data
- Plan, oversee, and interpret aquifer and well performance testing, including pumping tests, step-drawdown tests, slug tests, and water level monitoring
- Evaluate seasonal reliability, dry-year performance, well interference potential, and limitations of existing or proposed groundwater sources
- Analyze hydrogeologic data using appropriate tools, including conceptual hydrogeologic models and, where applicable, numerical groundwater modeling
- Prepare technical memoranda, water availability evaluations, and client and agency-facing summaries that clearly communicate assumptions, limitations, risks, and recommended next steps
- Coordinate with regulatory agencies, well drillers, pump contractors, laboratories, and design teams as needed
- Analyze hydrogeologic data using appropriate tools
- Collect groundwater quality samples, coordinate lab analysis, and interpret geochemical data
- Support conceptual and numerical groundwater modeling
