Im a water production/treatment operator. What the heck is that, you're probally asking yourself. Well in short I work on well heads to produce water for a system/facility. I do regular maintenance on them to ensure reliablity and proper operation. I also work on booster stations. They are stations that are used to boost up system pressure. Again I make sure that these pumps and motors are working the best that they can. I aslo work on Reverse Osmosis Systems or RO's. These are used too take water that requires treatment before entering into your home. I used to run these units on a regular basis but now we are getting so big that it has become a full time job so we hired on more people to perform these duties. RO units are expensive piecies of equipment and have high operating costs, so if you can find water that does not require treatment the better off financially the company would be. But being in a Desert water is in high demand.
There are many different areas in this field, you can work for the USGS and get to go Hiking, 4 wheeling and ect. to take field measurements around an assigned State. There is also Lab work careers if your interested in that. In short there are many careers here that have different aspects of the job. If you have any questions about this career field, feel free to PM me. Sometime in the nearby future we will be looking for several interns as well.
