Job Description

YOUR DAY-DAY WILL INCLUDE:

·Develop, update, calibrate, and maintain water distribution and wastewater collection system models for planning, design, and operational evaluations.

·Perform scenario analyses such as system capacity and level-of-service evaluations; pipe and pump sizing; booster/pump station evaluations; and fire flow, pressure zone, storage, and water age/water quality screening (as applicable).

·Compile, review, and validate model input data from GIS, as-builts, asset inventories, SCADA/telemetry, flow monitoring, and field testing.

·Use GIS (Esri ArcGIS/ArcGIS Pro) to prepare, spatially validate, and manage model datasets (e.g., networks, demands, basins, customer meters, assets).

·Apply data analysis methods to identify trends, data gaps, anomalies, and optimization opportunities; develop dashboards, tables, and clear visualizations for technical and non-technical audiences.

·Prepare technical memoranda and report sections documenting assumptions, calibration, results, and recommended improvements.
