Project Hydrogeologist

<div class="oxpzz60 _7uul8y0">
This is a genuine consulting career, with training, development and mentorship.
 
You'll spend a significant proportion of your time in the field in your first two years, solidifying your understanding of geology and site conceptualisation, while building a technical career alongside 45 specialists at the forefront of groundwater consulting.
 
You'll work directly with James Barratt, WA Region Manager who will also be your Team Leader, plus a close knit team who'll teach and mentor you. What matters most is that you're curious, field ready and eager to commit to a career in groundwater management.
 
You'll be involved in the whole cycle - sampling groundwater or supervising a drilling program one week, then back at your desk analysing that same data the next, turning your field readings into real technical understanding. You'll be part of projects ranging from mines and quarries to major infrastructure and renewable energy developments. You'll work on real groundwater challenges that can include water supply, mine dewatering, groundwater dependent ecosystems, impact assessment and environmental management. Each site will test a different set of skills, with each dataset adding to your understanding of how groundwater actually behaves, not just how it's described in a textbook. This is where your learning compounds.
 
Within the first one to two years, alongside your Team Leader, you'll see where your curiosity and strengths line up, and that's where your technical pathway begins to take shape. AGE's national team spans field management expertise, conceptualisation, GIS, data science, numerical modelling and geochemistry, and this knowledge and expertise is shared, accessible and developed across the entire team.
 
To be considered, you'll need -
 
<ul>
<li>Bachelor's degree in hydrogeology, geology, environmental science or a related discipline</li>
<li>Some exposure to groundwater or hydrogeology that has sparked your interest</li>
<li>Genuine, practical eagerness to get into the field, including remote and physically demanding conditions</li>
<li>To be based in Perth. We'll also consider people elsewhere in Australia who have a genuine, independent commitment to permanently relocating to WA</li>
<li>An Australian Driver's Licence (Class C)</li>
<li>Australian permanent residency</li>
</ul>
 
Why AGE
 
<ul>
<li>Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package</li>
<li>Performance-based incentive scheme across company, region and individual results</li>
<li>Dedicated time built into your role for professional development, supported by a personalised career development plan</li>
<li>Access to experienced mentors and a formal company-wide mentoring program</li>
<li>Be part of projects that involve field expeditions, GIS, data analysis, conceptualisation, numerical modelling, geochemistry - the full expanse of what groundwater management actually involves</li>
<li>4 additional leave Rostered Days Off (Wellbeing Days) each year, the option to purchase extra annual leave, enhanced paid parental leave, and a range of wellbeing initiatives</li>
<li>An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for you and your immediate household</li>
<li>Opportunities to participate in AGE’s Reward and Recognition Program, Employee Engagement Surveys and a range of social and team events</li>
<li>The opportunity to work on complex, high profile, career shaping projects and industry exposure that comes with working in an internationally recognised specialist groundwater consultancy</li>
</ul>
 
Just as importantly, AGE is a place where people can feel safe being themselves. We are proud of the inclusive culture our people have built, where different perspectives are respected, questions are welcomed and no one has to perform a version of themselves to fit in. Our employee-led CARE Collective (Culture, Access, Respect and Equity) helps us keep that culture active and visible, not just declared.
 
If this sounds like the kind of career you seek, apply now.
 
Applications close 10 October 2026 and we will accept and manage submissions throughout the entire advertised period.
 
All applications will be respectfully managed by our Talent Consultant, Susan Leon, and everyone will receive a response.
 
Recruitment agencies are not required, thank you.
