Compliance with applicable state and federal regulations related to safety and environment is key.
Key Accountabilities- Produce required raw material to meet production targets.
- Resources include: saline brine, brackish water and potable water.
- Assist in managing well field to produce optimal and sustainable well yield and flow.
- Initiate studies including stratigraphic controls and structural elements and integrate appropriate geologic data to fully develop ore body.
- Use understanding of geology, chemistry and hydrology to perform mineral resource evaluation, core analysis and geochemical assessment needed for subsurface exploration, development and production.
- Apply knowledge and expertise to reservoir characterization and well performance projections.
- Conduct resource reporting, develop reserve models and support presentations of Lake programs and project results.
- Support planning, execution and reporting of drilling and testing projects.
- Manage the resources required for long-term sustainability of the mineral reserve, including exploration.
- Collect and log soil, brine and mineral samples to define the nature and extent of the saline deposit.

- Willingness to work at all levels of the organization as circumstances require.
- Good understanding of source rock geochemistry, structural geology, natural fracture systems, sedimentology and hydrogeology.
- Experience with basic engineering techniques and applications specific to drilling preferred.
- Proficient in the use of Microsoft Office Suite.
- Strong analytical, verbal, writing and presentation skills required.
Experience with EPA and BLM regulations is a plus.
