We are SLR Consulting (Canada), a 1000+ team of advisory, environmental/engineering, and regulatory professionals across 20 office locations in Canada. We deliver environmental and sustainability services to our clients through the integration of advisory and over 30 technical environmental and engineering disciplines to help clients address some of their most complex challenges around sustainability, we are Making Sustainability Happen.
As a member of our Hydrogeology and Hydrology team, you’ll join a group of professionals that include hydrogeologists and hydrologists, engineers, geochemists, surficial geologists, ecologists, geomorphologists, and environmental scientists to work in a collaborative work environment on mining projects.
Specifically, You Will Compile, process, and evaluate climate and hydrological datasts, includingdata QA/QC, gap analysis, data patching, interpolation, and extrapolationusing appropriate statistical methods.
Perform hydrological frequency analyses to characterize droughts, extreme wetconditions, and other hydrologic events relevant to water management anddesign.
Support the development of conceptual hydrological models, including thedefinition of catchments, hydrological processes, model inputs, assumptions,boundary conditions, and calibration targets prior to numerical modelimplementation.
Develop, calibrate, and validate hydrological models to characterize regionalhydrology and site-specific responses in both gauged and ungauged watersheds.
Build and update water balance models using the latest GoldSim simulationsoftware, incorporating rainfall, evaporation, catchment runoff, groundwaterrecharge, upstream inflows, and operational processes at mine sites.
Modify water balance models to simulate site changes, updated infrastructurelayouts,



and water management practices during operations and post-closurefor a range of event‑based and sequence‑based rainfall scenarios and climatechange scenarios.
Develop and calibrate site-wide contaminant load balance models or waterquality models in GoldSim to simulate contaminant loads to be managed andtreated and the loads and concentrations in the receiving environment.
Conduct sensitivity and uncertainty analyses to evaluate key modelassumptions, parameters, and drivers and assess their influence on modelpredictions and water management outcomes.
Interpret modelling results and prepare clear technical documentation,figures, and repots than communicated model assumptions, methodologies,limitations, and key findings to project teams and clients.
This is a unique opportunity to bring your expertise to a highly engaged team,where your efforts and impact will be recognized and valued.
