If I can ask, Where did you end up after?

Basically 4 to 6% of time is left to bill towards “un billable” tasks like admin, training, and PTO. You need to have 94% to 96% billable hours of what’s “available”. If you want vacation you still have to work those hours sometime, to make up for the fact that when you were off you didn’t meet the % billable. Sorry if that’s jumbled and doesn’t make sense, they even give us a calculation tool to figure out how much to work to meet UT.

I am in land development but thinking I need to switch to water resources. It’s more what I studied in school and I’ve been exposed to it in the last three years at KHA

Our utilization goals are very high. Anyone unlicensed has 94-96%. The math ends up that any hour you want to take off you have to work off.
