    • Build trusted client relationships and support business development opportunities across the region
    • Develop your technical capabilities through targeted learning and development, and technical mentoring programs
    • Contribute to the ongoing growth and technical leadership of GHD's groundwater modelling capability

    What you'll bring

    We're interested in connecting with experienced groundwater professionals who are passionate about numerical groundwater modelling and solving complex hydrogeological challenges.

    You'll ideally have:
