This includes innovative methods of shallow seismic reflection characterization.<br><br>The ES section provides drilling in support of water, energy, and basic subsurface research. It also runs a program designed to monitor changes and identify regional trends in the High Plains, Dakota, and alluvial aquifers, measuring about 1,380 wells in 47 central and western Kansas counties. Also, the ES section is responsible for installation, maintenance, and collection of data from earthquake recording stations in Kansas—both permanent stations and several temporary networks—to detect and analyze seismic activity.<br><br>This position provides technical field support for KGS scientists and collaborating outside parties with primary responsibilities to drilling, data collection, equipment modification, upkeep, and fabrication. Support includes drilling and sampling operations, borehole/well logging, maintenance and plugging, observation well installations, water level measurement, seismic/geophysical field support, and earthquake station installation and maintenance.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:0in;-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;box-sizing: border-box'><b><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:black'>Job Description</span></b><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#4B4B4B'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:black'>RESPONSIBILITIES:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#4B4B4B'><br>40% Drilling and Sampling<o:p></o:p></span></p><ul type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='color:#4B4B4B;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;box-sizing: border-box'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"'>Maintain and expand operational capabilities of KGS drilling, plugging, and logging equipment and techniques.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:#4B4B4B;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;box-sizing: border-box'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"'>Participate in and oversee mobilizing and demobilizing for drilling, plugging, and logging operations.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:#4B4B4B;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;box-sizing: border-box'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"'>Maintain and enhance drilling, logging, and plugging skills; independently design and complete drilling and/or sampling operations as requested by KGS scientists.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:#4B4B4B;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;box-sizing: border-box'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"'>On occasion, manage drill site and assume responsibility for deliverables.
