• Run simulations, conduct sensitivity and uncertainty analyses, and translate results into actionable recommendations for clients.
• Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams — civil, environmental, and hydrological specialists — to integrate modeling outcomes into engineering designs.
• Develop and maintain GoldSim water balance models to support mine water management, site planning, and permitting.
• Support field programs and site assessments as required.
• Participate in client meetings and technical discussions under the mentorship of senior project leads.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of modeling workflows, tools, and templates.
• Work alongside senior specialists in mine water management and hydrology.
• Prepare clear technical documentation, figures, and reports outlining modeling methods, assumptions, and findings.
• Collect, review, and interpret climate, hydrology, and site infrastructure data to inform model inputs and assumptions.

Requirements

Our client, a respected employee-owned consulting firm known for its innovative and practical approach to mine water management and site planning, is seeking an Intermediate Mine Site Modeling Specialist to join their growing team in Vancouver, BC, Vernon, BC, or Calgary, AB.

This is an excellent opportunity for a technically driven engineer or scientist who enjoys hydrology, mine water systems, and data-driven modeling. You’ll collaborate with senior engineers and hydrologists to build and refine GoldSim water balance models that guide mine planning, operations, and environmental permitting across Western Canada.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and technical writing skills.
• Proven experience using GoldSim for water balance or system modeling; experience with probabilistic or stochastic modeling is an asset.
• Willingness to occasionally travel to mine sites or remote locations for project work.
• P.Eng. or P.Geo. designation, or eligibility for registration with EGBC or APEGA.
• Understanding of mine water systems, infrastructure, and environmental permitting processes in BC or Alberta.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Environmental, Civil, or Mining Engineering, Hydrology, or Geoscience.
• Minimum 7 years of relevant experience in hydrology, water resources, or environmental modeling (mine water experience preferred).

Benefits

• Hybrid work environment and flexible schedule options.
• Comprehensive benefits including extended health, dental, vision, and wellness programs.
• Competitive salary, annual bonus, and share ownership opportunities.
• Gain exposure to advanced modeling tools and real-world mine applications.
