During my work in this company my main tasks were to perform physicochemical analysis of drinking water, monitoring and collecting water samples from different sources (terrain work), collecting data and reporting, calibration of equipment, and maintaining lab in general.
- I worked in a project-based in short-term employment for an organization named CDI (Community Development Initiative). My tasks in this project were to monitor water supply flow meters in some rural areas in Kosovo by checking the physical presence of the flow meters. These locations were identified digitally by collecting coordinates and data for water meters were also collected. Through this initiative, the implementation of the project for the installation of water supply and sewerage pipes for these rural areas has been supported.
