RANCHO WATER IS SEEKING A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM MANAGER

             Hiring Bonus:    $5,000 paid at start date and $5,000 paid after one year of service

Shape the future of water infrastructure in one of Southern California’s most dynamic and growing regions. Rancho California Water District is seeking an innovative and collaborative Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Manager to lead the planning and delivery of major water, wastewater, and recycled water projects that support the quality of life for more than 160,000 residents. This is a unique opportunity to guide transformative capital investments, lead a high-performing team, and make a lasting impact on the communities we serve.

The District...

The District proudly serves a dynamic and growing region of 160,000 residents across 100,000 acres, including Temecula, Murrieta, and surrounding communities. The District is well resourced and uniquely positioned to leverage a diverse operating portfolio consisting of a thriving Groundwater Basin, Treated and Untreated Import Supply, as well as administering the Santa Rosa Regional Resource Authority regionally managing wastewater in partnership with other agencies. Major upcoming initiatives include maximizing the nearly 50,000AF of storage in Vail Lake in combination with the expansion of the Groundwater Basin to reduce reliance on treated imported water. 

The Ideal Candidate...  

The ideal candidate is inspired by the opportunity to lead the District's $300 million Capital Improvement Program through its entire lifecycle, featuring the District's first Progressive Design-Build  and the Vail Dam Replacement Project. They know enough engineering to challenge assumptions, enough construction to understand what will actually work in the field, and possess the leadership ability to channel that knowledge through six professionals, empowering them to perform at their best.

This role is for a driven, self-starter. They are independent, decisive, and motivated by making a lasting impact on the organization and community. They understand that leadership sometimes means making tough decisions, but most importantly, they create an environment where people perform at their best.
