THE POSITION 5% COLA increase effective July 2025 5% COLA increase effective July 2026 This recruitment is being conducted to fill four full-time vacancies. The list established by this recruitment may be used to fill future full-time, part-time, limited term, and temporary vacancies for up to one year. The City of Vallejo is seeking candidates for four Senior Water Treatment Plant Operators as collaborative members of the City's Water Department. An ideal Senior Water Treatment Plant Operator will have sufficient working knowledge and progressively responsible experience working in a T3 system (or higher) drinking water treatment facility, comparable to Vallejo's surface-water treatment processes. Incumbents are expected to be able to solve technically complex and challenging water treatment and distribution operational issues, practice sound judgement and impartial decision making, conduct lead responsibilities including training, promote a trust-building and cohesive team, and work collaboratively with other Water staff and divisions. Senior Water Treatment Plant Operators will be able to perform a variety of skilled technical duties and semi-skilled labor, as regulated by Federal and State potable water treatment guidelines, in the operation and maintenance of the City's drinking water treatment plants, transmission and water storage, distribution systems, and appurtenances. While not required, successful completion of relevant or specialized courses in water treatment and distribution equivalent to CSUS Water Program courses is highly desirable. THE DEPARTMENT The Vallejo Water Department is a dynamic organization engaged in growth and positive change for the benefit of our customers and community. The Department provides potable water to 121,000 customers through a highly complex system including multiple raw water sources, three treatment plants, a Sludge Dewatering Facility, 600 miles of distribution pipes, 8 pressure zones, 27 pump stations, and 37,000 service connections. Vallejo Water is a Treatment-5/Distribution-5system. In 2017, Vallejo water services transitioned from a division of Public Works, to a standalone Water Department reporting directly to the City Manager. This change gives drinking water-related operations and issues greater visibility and strategic direction for the benefit of rate-payers. The Water Department's strategic goals include: infrastructure reliability, public trust, sustainability, organizational performance, and financial viability. The Water Department has six Divisions: Water Treatment, Engineering, Distribution, Water Quality, Watershed and Facilities Management, and Administration/Conservation.

Vallejo is a rapidly changing, highly diverse community located midway between the cities of San Francisco and Sacramento. It is a friendly, active waterfront community that attracts innovative, hardworking people and takes great pride in its 148-year history and maritime heritage. Residents of Vallejo are situated to take advantage of the best of what the area has to offer.

THE POSITION 5% COLA increase effective July 2025 5% COLA increase effective July 2026 This recruitment is being conducted to fill four full-time vacancies. The list established by this recruitment may be used to fill future full-time, part-time, limited term, and temporary vacancies for up to one year. The City of Vallejo is seeking candidates for four Senior Water Treatment Plant Operators as collaborative members of the City's Water Department. An ideal Senior Water Treatment Plant Operator will have sufficient working knowledge and progressively responsible experience working in a T3 system (or higher) drinking water treatment facility, comparable to Vallejo's surface-water treatment processes. Incumbents are expected to be able to solve technically complex and challenging water treatment and distribution operational issues, practice sound judgement and impartial decision making, conduct lead responsibilities including training, promote a trust-building and cohesive team, and work collaboratively with other Water staff and divisions. Senior Water Treatment Plant Operators will be able to perform a variety of skilled technical duties and semi-skilled labor, as regulated by Federal and State potable water treatment guidelines, in the operation and maintenance of the City's drinking water treatment plants, transmission and water storage, distribution systems, and appurtenances. While not required, successful completion of relevant or specialized courses in water treatment and distribution equivalent to CSUS Water Program courses is highly desirable. THE DEPARTMENT The Vallejo Water Department is a dynamic organization engaged in growth and positive change for the benefit of our customers and community. The Department provides potable water to 121,000 customers through a highly complex system including multiple raw water sources, three treatment plants, a Sludge Dewatering Facility, 600 miles of distribution pipes, 8 pressure zones, 27 pump stations, and 37,000 service connections. Vallejo Water is a Treatment-5/Distribution-5system. In 2017, Vallejo water services transitioned from a division of Public Works, to a standalone Water Department reporting directly to the City Manager. This change gives drinking water-related operations and issues greater visibility and strategic direction for the benefit of rate-payers. The Water Department's strategic goals include: infrastructure reliability, public trust, sustainability, organizational performance, and financial viability. The Water Department has six Divisions: Water Treatment, Engineering, Distribution, Water Quality, Watershed and Facilities Management, and Administration/Conservation. THE CITY OF VALLEJO The City of Vallejo is located in Solano County and has a population of approximately 121,000 residents. Vallejo is a rapidly changing, highly diverse community located midway between the cities of San Francisco and Sacramento. It is a friendly, active waterfront community that attracts innovative, hardworking people and takes great pride in its 148-year history and maritime heritage. Residents of Vallejo are situated to take advantage of the best of what the area has to offer. Golf, museums, performing arts, boutique shopping, brewpubs and a wide selection of restaurants are all available in Vallejo.
