About a month ago I asked you for assistance in helping the US Department of Labor ensure that the occupational term 'Water Resource Specialist' was properly defined. You responded and the folks (Tammy Belcher) at RTI (Research Triangle Institute), a Department of Labor contractor, were very appreciative.
Tammy (877-233-7348 ext. 119 or [email protected]) is back again this month, but this time it's for the occupational term 'Water/Wastewater Engineers'. And you could get $40 cash money!
Water/Wastewater Engineers: Design or oversee projects involving provision of potable water, disposal of wastewater and sewage, or prevention of flood-related damage. Prepare environmental documentation for water resources, regulatory program compliance, data management and analysis, and field work. Perform hydraulic modeling and pipeline design.
For details download her request below (PDF or .docx) or read the material below the line of stars. Please respond to her by 19 September 2016.
