drilling supervision, monitoring well installation and hydraulic
testing/sampling) as well as experience characterizing and interpreting
dissolved gases in groundwater. Some knowledge of and experience in
reactive-transport modeling and/or multiphase flow would also be considered
an asset. The ideal candidate will be independent, self-motivated, have
excellent oral and written communication skills, be well organized and be a
