Kevin Uffmann of Holbrook, New York, and Mike Pedersen of Riverton, Wyoming, are the latest to have successfully completed NGWA’s certification examination and met the other requirements leading to the status of Certified Well Driller (CWD).
Since February 1988, Uffmann has been a field supervisor for Layne Christensen, a Granite Company. Pedersen is senior driller for Inberg-Miller Engineers.
The NGWA Voluntary Certification Program establishes standards of technical competency within the groundwater contracting professions and demonstrates the certified contractor has voluntarily met these standards. By passing NGWA’s certification exams, contractors prove their knowledge, training, and experience which enable them to perform their job in a competent and professional manner. Prior to taking a series of examinations in specialized subjects, candidates must provide NGWA with proof of two years full-time groundwater contracting experience. Click here to learn more.
