THE IDEAL CANDIDATE
The ideal candidate will be responsible for overseeing five units and manage the day-to-day operations of reservoirs, including how water flows through the various Valley Water systems, and related ground water and treatment plants. While this is a huge job in itself, it is critical that this candidate work effectively and collaboratively with other units and divisions within Valley Water so we can all benefit from each other’s expertise and help each other be successful. To achieve this, the ideal candidate will have the emotional intelligence and communication skills to effectively partner and communicate highly technical content to non-technical audiences.

There is heightened public interest in what Valley Water and this division oversees, therefore the ideal candidate will be sensitive to and effectively communicate with the public, regularly produce/conduct public communications and respond promptly and effectively to highly sensitive issues that could create public concern.
