Lead modeller for the company. Creates numerical groundwater models of mining sites, which predict the flows and duration for groundwater to travel from sources to receptors of interest.Also conducts fieldwork and writing of compliance reports for clients within the oil and gas and forestry industries. Assists with the processing of geochemical data for use in compliance reports and quality assurance.Skills include: Leapfrog, FEFLOW, PEST, Surfer, QGIS, Python (FEFLOW IFM, Pandas, Geopandas)
