General Manager at a Municipal Water District
I oversee all aspects of water and wastewater service delivery in our service area.
My typical days are mostly filled with meetings (now via Zoom). I check in on my departmental managers often to keep in sync with their progress and resource need. The things that come across my desk are those that could not be resolved at a lower level, so they are usually not easy. I also spend more time than I prefer dealing in politics.
Here's the first step for everyone
Push yourself onto bigger and better projects and jobs. Always try to fix something and make it better than how it was when you started found it. Find someone with experience to teach you and give you smaller jobs to get a handle on things. Always keep learning and gaining knowledge about different areas in your field of work.
