Job Description

Are you an energetic team player wanting to work with and learn from a leading consultancy in hydrogeology in Australia?

Want to collaborate, think outside of the box and work within a team of hydrogeologists, groundwater modellers, geochemists and environmental scientists across Australia and Canada to create positive long-term impact?

Are you seeking variety in your work, where you work in a truly flexible working environment - as you work between the field, interpreting data, supporting proposals and contributing to projects that deliver real impact for communities?

Want to take the next step in your development as a hydrogeologist, with a focus on task ownership, self-empowerment and innovative thinking?

This could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

At EMM, we believe that a sustainable future is achievable and we proactively pursue opportunities to help our clients and the community make it a reality. Our dedicated team of environmental professionals are committed to driving positive change through innovation, collaboration and out-of-the-box thinking.

Our industry-leading team of groundwater technical specialists are recognised for their experience, knowledge and innovation. With national and global coverage, our team offer a unique
blend of consulting, government and industry expertise delivering tailored solutions for a range of sectors including renewable energy, major road, rail and transmission infrastructure, mining, extraction, and closure and rehabilitation. We pride ourselves on working collaboratively with our clients and internal teams, acting as a national contingency to deliver practical advice and solutions to best navigate groundwater challenges.

Here’s what you can expect in your new role with EMM:

• From day one, you’ll collaborate with leaders across EMM who are focused on delivering technical excellence.
• Your days will vary; from hiking in the mountains to retrieve groundwater level loggers, or completing groundwater exploration in the desert, collating and analysing field data or contributing to reports and proposals - the breadth and depth of hydrogeologic pathways
  awaits.
• With the support of those around you, you’ll have the opportunity to further develop your project management skills, work closely with clients and seeking opportunities to deliver greater value propositions.
• The autonomy, flexibility and support you need to balance all aspects of your life.  
• With offices across Australia, you’ll be able to flex and enjoy hybrid working at its best. 

Here’s what you’ll bring to have impact:

• Tertiary degree qualifications in geoscience/geology/hydrogeology/environment or related disciplines.
• Two plus years of technical experience in groundwater resources,
  hydrogeological assessments, dewatering, groundwater monitoring and/or
  environmental assessments – applying the fundamentals of groundwater hydrology
  to real-world challenges.
• Demonstrated ability, energy and enthusiasm to undertake fieldwork (hydrogeological supervision of drilling and bore construction, aquifer testing or groundwater sampling).
• Competency in the use of relevant industry software such as MS Excel, Surfer, AQTESOLV, QGIS, MLU, ESdat, LogPlot and Python.
• An appreciation of relevant QLD and Commonwealth legislation and water policy.
• A valid Australian Driver’s License and excellent driving history (4WD experience is an advantage).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly in the preparation of technical reports.
• Ability to manage your own time and priorities to assist the team in meeting project objectives and deadlines.
• A desire to learn, be mentored and mentor graduates or other early career professionals.

innovation and empowers you to make a real impact, EMM could be the place for
you.
