Water Utility Specialist

What You’ll Be Doing

This position will assist government agencies and communities to address water operational, infrastructure, and regulatory challenges. The successful candidate will utilize their understanding of water system design, operations, infrastructure, regulations, and related programs to contribute technical, programmatic, and policy insights primarily related to Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) implementation at the state, EPA Region, or utility level. Knowledge of and experience with Clean Water Act (CWA) requirements and program implementation is also desired but not required.

Travel to water and wastewater systems is anticipated. The successful candidate would be comfortable communicating and working with water and wastewater utility operators and managers and their regulators and have a strong familiarity with the challenges operators face.
