Our team focuses on addressing environmental concerns associated with inland, coastal, and marine applications, as well as infrastructure development. These areas include offshore oil and gas exploration and development; linear infrastructure, such as pipelines; coastal engineering projects, including dredging, pipeline and cable burial, and resiliency initiatives; water quality; and renewable energy development. Working with public-sector organizations-including municipal, state, and federal agencies-as well as private-sector clients around the world, our team uses proprietary and third-party, state-of-the-art numerical modeling tools to identify the potential trajectories, fates, and effects of released contaminants and sediments in inland, coastal, and marine environments., The following duties are considered essential to the role. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these essential functions: * Prepare and analyze environmental data for use in modeling. * Develop and run models of contaminants and sediment transport in aquatic, estuarine, and offshore environments using proprietary and publicly available software. * Evaluate model results and succinctly communicate potential environmental effects to clients, stakeholders, and project teams. * Prepare clear, accurate technical reports, presentations, and other project deliverables. * Maintain organized and reliable data archives, modeling records, and project documentation. * Collaborate with modelers and software developers to help improve modeling tools, workflows, and processes., * For this role, we are open to hybrid work schedules in our South Kingstown, RI office, or remote work schedules within the continental United States. Working out of our RI office is strongly preferred. Hybrid work arrangements are welcome. Remote work is considered. Successful candidates within the New England area would be expected to travel to the office approximately quarterly. ## Related Videos - [Leveraging Large Language Models for Legacy Code Translation: Challenges and Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1157-leveraging-large-language-models-for-legacy-code-translation-challenges-and-solutions) - [Data Science, ML & AI in the Oil and Gas Industry at NDT Global - Dr. Katja Träumner](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1308-data-science-ml-ai-in-the-oil-and-gas-industry-at-ndt-global-dr-katja-traumner) - [JavaScript?
