FULL TIME

November 29, 2024

Do you want to make a tangible impact on sustainable water management in Norway? Can you lead complex groundwater projects and provide expert guidance in hydrogeology? And are you an experienced hydrogeologist with a passion for environmental sustainability? Then, we would love to hear from you!
Join our hydrogeology environment working across Norway
To support sustainable water resource management and environmental impact reduction, we are looking for a Senior Hydrogeologist to join our team. We are a team of dedicated hydrogeologists and environmental specialists in Norway, who also have a good collaboration with our international colleagues, especially in Denmark. Together, we are working alongside our customers on some of Norway's most prestigious and impactful projects in hydrogeology and water management. We are thrilled to contribute to projects like Skygard, Hamar station, Fellesprosjekt Arna-Stanghelle, Bergen Light Rail and Avinor airports, where our expertise in groundwater assessment and sustainable solutions has made a significant impact.

Your key responsibilities will include:
  • Hydrogeological assessments in infrastructure and development projects
  • Ensure safe and secure drinking water from groundwater through various hydrogeological assessments, field methods and applications (konsesjonssøknader)
  • Geothermal energy, both open and closed loop systems
  • Land subsidence risk evaluations with regards to groundwater drainage
  • Hydrogeological risk assessment and water handling in construction pits
  • Geohazard assessments with regards to increased groundwater levels and flooding
  • Groundwater remediation, modelling and monitoring
  • Supporting junior team members in skill development and knowledge sharing.
Your skills. Our team. Together we design the future.
The first step to success in this role is that you are eager to collaborate with the people around you, whether they are colleagues, partners or customers. Developing ties with others is something you do by acting respectfully and delivering on your promises. And you never get set in your ways but keep exploring new insights and ways to improve.


On top of that, you will have:

  • A Master degree in Hydrogeology, Environmental Science, Geology, or a related field
  • Minimum of 7 years’ experience in hydrogeology, preferably within consulting, engineering or environmental sector
  • Proficiency in groundwater modelling and analysis software (such as MODFLOW, FEFLOW, or similar tools), as well as GIS tools for spatial data analysis
  • Strong knowledge of Norwegian and EU environmental regulations, permitting processes and guidelines relevant to groundwater management
  • Demonstrated experience in managing projects, including budget oversight, timelines, and communication with clients and stakeholders
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present complex technical information to non-specialists in a clear and concise manner
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a commitment to innovative, sustainable solutions within water management
  • Minimum B2 level in Norwegian speaking and writing.

That is why we say no to fossil-based projects and aspire to have 100% of our revenue come from activities that move our customers towards sustainability.


We value differences and development and cultivate an environment of belonging and having fun. Because that is what brings out the best in you, at work and at home.


With offices primarily located in the Nordic region, the UK, North America and India, we are currently more than 8,000 people who bring their expertise in engineering, architecture, energy and environment into play.

What we also offer:
  • The opportunity to build up your skills with exciting projects
  • Good opportunities for personal development through a personal development plan, COWI Academy and the COWI Connect mentoring scheme
  • National and international collaboration across organizations and disciplines. We have approx. 70 different professional networks in COWI
  • An active company culture with social and athletic activities, “lønningstreff” and company cabins
  • Flexible working hours with a home office arrangement, five weeks' holiday and time off between Christmas and New Year
  • A separate community called "Young in COWI" for employees under the age of 34, where social trips and events are arranged
  • Finally, a good working environment. It is important for us to be generous and stand up for each other. Which is also reflected in our well-being and employee surveys.
