摘要
The water industry needs updated job descriptions, not just for positions requiring digital expertise but to cultivate a digital workforce that expects to learn new skills over time.Novel technologies such as digital twins, drones, and virtual reality training require new job classifications for digital workers in the water sector, now and in the future.To meet water workforce challenges like employee retention and retirements, accurate job announcements can help utilities fill vacancies faster and maintain a professionally agile staff.
