In addition, meeting production demands through the operation of wells, boosters, and tanks, utilizing SCADA, and delegating field operations, are also my responsibilities. Furthermore, I fulfill the duties of regulatory compliance, scheduling and interpreting laboratory analyses, budgeting, and conducting water quality investigations. Lastly, I teach refresher courses to employees, to prepare them for Division of Drinking Water exams.

While working at NCWD, I received two promotions.

Next, I received a promotion to the Maintenance Crew, where I performed a wide variety of duties that ranged from fixing water main leaks to preventative maintenance on Cla-Vals.
