<span style="font-family:"inherit",serif;color:#333333">This position provides technical field support for KGS scientists and collaboration with 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.<br>
<br>
The person in this position will be required to become a proficient driller operating all the KGS drilling units. Guidance in achieving this high level of proficiency will be provided by the Senior Field Advisor under the oversight and direct supervision of
the Section Lead. With the current level of drilling and sampling undertaken at the KGS, obtaining this training/experience might take several years. During this period and beyond, when not engaged in drilling or sampling activities, a great deal of independence
and direction will be provided to become familiar and experienced participating in geophysical surveys, water level measurement projects, instrument installation, and fabrication of specialized equipment and tools. Prior experience with drilling or use/maintenance
of heavy equipment is expected and required. Candidates who enjoy working outdoors and shop work (e.g. machining, woodworking, maintenance, or fabrication) and want a long-term, secure, and stable career in this field with a great deal of latitude are encouraged
to apply.<br>
<br>
The Kansas Geological Survey (KGS) Exploration Services (ES) section develops and uses several investigative methods to provide information about the subsurface, using both invasive and non-invasive approaches with a focus on higher resolution and accuracy
while reducing cost. <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. As well, 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>
