About the Role
Evotek was conceptualized as an alternative to the status quo, utilizing experienced and well-trained field personnel. We have implemented a strong training and mentorship program within the company to develop and grow personnel by passing along knowledge and skills based on our experience and connections.
This role is ideal for an experienced Risk Assessor / Environmental Modeler looking for a new opportunity.
What You’ll Do
Risk Assessment:
- Conduct human health and ecological risk assessments (HHRA/ERA) in accordance with provincial and federal guidance (e.g., AEP, BC CSR, CCME)
- Develop conceptual site models (CSMs) for contaminated sites
- Derive risk-based remediation targets and site-specific guidelines
- Evaluate exposure pathways and receptors for soil, groundwater, and surface water impacts
- Prepare risk assessment reports and support regulatory submissions
Environmental Modeling:
- Perform contaminant fate and transport modeling (e.g., groundwater plume modeling, vapor intrusion, surface water impacts)
- Use and/or develop models (e.g., MODFLOW, MT3D, RT3D, GoldSim, RBCA tools)
- Conduct sensitivity and uncertainty analyses
- Calibrate and validate models using field data
- Support predictive modeling for remediation strategies and long-term monitoring
Soil & Salinity Assessment:
- Assess soil salinity impacts and support reclamation planning on upstream oil and gas sites
- Provide technical review and sign-off on SST assessments, and contribute to development of internal best practices and standardized approaches for advanced SST application
- Interpret soil chemistry data (e.g., EC, SAR, ions) to inform risk and reclamation decisions
- Support development of salinity management and mitigation strategies
Data Analysis & Interpretation:
- Analyze environmental datasets (soil, groundwater, air)
- Apply statistical and geospatial tools (e.g., Excel, R, Python, GIS)
- Interpret complex datasets to support risk conclusions and modeling inputs
Regulatory & Technical Support:
- Interface with regulators and clients on risk-based and reclamation approaches
- Support development of risk management plans, reclamation strategies, and closure plans
- Stay current with evolving regulatory frameworks and guidance (AEP, AER, BC OGC)
Collaboration & Project Support:
- Work with site assessment, remediation, and reclamation teams
- Provide technical input during Phase 2 ESAs, remediation, and reclamation planning
- Mentor junior staff
What You’ll Need
- MUST currently reside in Alberta
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Environmental Science, Engineering, Soil Science, Hydrogeology, or related field
- 15+ years of experience in risk assessment and modeling
- Strong understanding of contaminant hydrogeology and exposure pathways
- Experience with regulatory frameworks in Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan
- Professional designation or eligibility (e.g., P.Eng., P.Geo., P.Ag., RPBio) is required
What to expect
- Remote Work Flexibility: Work from anywhere while contributing to meaningful environmental projects.
- Growth Opportunities: Be part of a dynamic and growing company with opportunities for professional development.
- Work-Life Balance: We prioritize a healthy balance between work and personal life.
