Lance received a diploma in the Water Resources Engineering Technology program at Saskatchewan Polytechnic in 2012. He now has over 11 years of work experience with Northwest Hydraulic Consultants and is one of the senior engineering technologists in the company. Lance has extensive experience in hydrometric monitoring, hydroclimate monitoring and surveying.

Lance has installed numerous hydrometric stations for early warning systems for public safety, IPP baseline and compliance gauges, municipal stream networks and various environmental monitoring projects. Lance is responsible for the reconnaissance, citing, design, installation, datalogger programming, telemetry configuration, ongoing data review and final data approval. He has experience debugging and troubleshooting instrumentation in remote and challenging environments. He is also responsible for developing and maintaining stream-discharge relationships. As such he has ample experience in stream flow gauging with the majority of his experience coming from the following methodologies: i) Salt dilution gauging, ii) Current meters (mechanical and acoustic doppler velocity), iii) Hydroacoustic methods (ADCP), iv) Rated structures (weirs and flumes), and v) Volumetric.

Some major hydrometric and hydroclimate project experience includes: BluEarth Hydrometric Monitoring, BC Hydro Hydroclimate Monitoring, CRD Hydrology Station Upgrades and Flow Monitoring and Faro Mine Complex Hydrometeorlogical Monitoring.

Lance has extensive experience in data analysis and review using the Aquatic Informatics AQUARIUS software. As a Qualified Hydrometric Data Reviewer (MoECCS, 2018) he is responsible for the review, grading, and final approval of datasets.
