What does a monitoring well constructor do?

A monitoring well constructor is specifically trained and qualified to install monitoring wells, which are essential for environmental assessments and groundwater monitoring. These wells are designed to provide critical data about subsurface water levels and quality, particularly in areas potentially affected by contaminants.

The tasks involved in installing monitoring wells include selecting appropriate locations, ensuring proper construction techniques, and adhering to regulations related to groundwater protection. The primary focus of their role is not to oversee all types of water well drilling, manage broader well construction processes, or actively monitor pollution levels, although they may indirectly contribute to those areas through their expertise in well installation. This specialization distinguishes monitoring well constructors from other well-related roles.
