Project Hydrogeologist

About PRI
Our offices in Lindsay and Mississauga, Ontario, Canada support private and public geotechnical
projects across Canada and around the world with on-site geotechnical engineering expertise and
comprehensive laboratory testing. With over 100 years of combined experience, our team members
provide hands-on help and recommendations to design and test construction projects like roadways
and public works, small residential to high-rise buildings, solar installations, and large-scale
infrastructure projects. Our diverse team includes engineers, EITs, Field and laboratory technicians of
all levels, and we continue to grow rapidly.

projects; including the preparation and supervision of field programs, data collection, data
analysis, and technical report writing and proposal preparation.
- Design and conduct field investigations including: drilling and logging; soil and bedrock

characterization; monitoring well installation; hydraulic response testing; soil, groundwater,
sediment and surface water sampling; installation of groundwater instrumentation, etc.
- Directing junior to intermediate staff to prepare technical environmental reports including,

hydrogeology characterization assessments, impact assessments, groundwater supply
studies, environmental site assessments, remediation, mine pit and construction
dewatering assessments, and groundwater and surface water monitoring reports.
- Data compilation and interpretation, including water quality results, hydraulic response

testing data analysis, water balance assessments, water take/dewatering estimation, and
impact assessment analysis.
