The Opportunity

As an Intermediate Groundwater Modeller, you will support the delivery of impactful groundwater and water resource solutions as part of WSP’s Prairies & North Water team. You will contribute to technically challenging projects across Western and Northern Canada, working in diverse hydrogeological settings where groundwater science is central to sustainable infrastructure, water security, and environmental protection.

This role is well suited to a technically strong professional who is continuing to deepen their groundwater modelling expertise while working collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams. You will be involved across the full project lifecycle—from conceptual model development through numerical modelling and interpretation—while being supported by senior technical leaders and contributing to high‑quality project delivery for municipal, industrial, Indigenous, and resource‑sector clients.

Your Impact

  • Support groundwater flow and contaminant transport modelling for infrastructure, environmental, and remediation projects.
  • Develop and refine conceptual site models and numerical groundwater models under senior technical guidance.
  • Assist with the design and interpretation of hydrogeological investigations, including aquifer testing and data analysis.
  • Translate modelling results into clear, technically sound inputs for reports, regulators, and project teams.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary water, environmental, and engineering teams to integrate groundwater science into broader project solutions.
  • Contribute to proposal development, project planning, and technical documentation.
  • Support the mentorship of junior team members through knowledge sharing and collaboration.
  • Uphold WSP’s safety, quality, and sustainability standards across all project work.

The Skills That Set You Apart

  • Bachelor’s degree in Hydrogeology, Geological Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) or Professional Geoscientist (P.Geo.) designation, or eligibility to obtain.
  • Demonstrated experience in groundwater modelling using industry‑standard software (e.g., MODFLOW‑based platforms).
  • Experience with hydrogeological assessments, aquifer characterization, and interpretation of field and monitoring data.
  • Background supporting environmental, infrastructure, or remediation projects within a consulting environment.
  • Ability to clearly communicate technical concepts in written and verbal formats.
  • Strong commitment to safety, quality, and continuous professional development.
