About Our Opportunity

The Government of Nova Scotia is seeking a highly skilled Environmental Geoscientist to join our team in the Geological Survey Division. As a key member of our team, you will work on a wide range of environmental geology projects, including hydrogeology, geochemistry, and geohazard issues. Your expertise will be essential in leading our radon gas program and managing our real-time aquifer monitoring network.

You will collaborate with senior geoscientists and stakeholders to develop and advance environmental geoscience projects. Your responsibilities will include collecting and analyzing geoscience data using various methods, such as operating X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) equipment, water well monitoring meters, and modeling fracture flow associated with karst geology and related geomorphology and geohazards.

Primary Accountabilities

The primary accountabilities of the successful candidate are to lead the Department's radon gas research work, manage the Department's real-time aquifer monitoring network, develop and maintain the Department's hydrogeological information, contribute to characterizing karst geological systems across the province, and work with geoscience information teams to disseminate relevant, timely, and accessible information and advice required for the management of the province's environmental geohazards.

Qualifications and Experience

To be successful in this role, you must have a minimum of a B.Sc. in geology, hydrogeology, earth sciences, or environmental geosciences, plus a minimum of 5 years' experience in a geoscience-related field, or an M.Sc. with 4 years of related experience. You must hold a Professional Geoscientist (P.Geo.) Designation or be eligible for professional designation with the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Nova Scotia. You must also hold a valid driver's license.

Experience working on geochemical, water resource, and slope stability and related geohazards projects is required. You must have experience maintaining groundwater monitoring networks and building water well and geochemical databases, and you must have experience with GIS applications to build geospatial models that characterize surficial features such as slope stability and natural geochemical or sediment dispersion trends.

A hands-on approach to maintaining and operating water level monitoring equipment and troubleshooting in the field is required. This may include soldering electronic components, coding for custom-made water level meters, or identifying new fit-for-purpose monitoring technology to maintain the future operability of water monitoring devices and the collection of timely water level data.
