At West Point I work operating, monitoring and maintaining biological, chemical, mechanical and hydraulic systems and processes at the plant. I especifically operate, monitor and control wastewater equipment and systems using complex computer systems like SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems). I conduct sampling and test analysis of wastewater and recomend changes to process to meet federal and Washington State permits and regulations and to optimize wastewater treatment performance.

While in college I worked at Puyallup Wastewater Treatment Plant for 6 months as part of my Curricular Practical Training in Water Quality and Wastewater Treatment. During this period of time I worked in the laboratory performing all the physical and chemical analyses required for wastewater treatment process control (pH, BOD, DO, COD, Settleability, TSS, VA etc.). I also mastered fundamental treatment operations as well as related activities such as solids dewatering.
