The Operations & Maintenance Department The Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Department is responsible for operating the Water Authority's aqueduct delivery system; ensuring facility security and emergency preparedness; and maintaining and managing the fleet and various other assets. Specifically, the department controls water deliveries to meet member agency demands; manages dam and reservoir operations; ensures water quality; oversees water treatment plant and power generation operations; maintains all vehicles and heavy equipment; provides electro-mechanical support; implements the Asset Management Program (AMP); complies with all applicable environmental regulations; and develops and manages computerized Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and system maintenance programs. The Position Salary Information System Operator I: $40.92 - $55.04 per hour ($85,128.16 - $114,487.36 annual) System Operator II: $47.46 - $63.83 per hour ($98,720.96 - $132,768.48 annual) This position may be filled at either level, depending on candidate qualifications. System Operators play a critical role in ensuring the safe, reliable delivery of water throughout the San Diego County Water Authority’s regional aqueduct system. System Operators use a modern Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to monitor, regulate, and control complex pipelines, pump stations, valves, hydroelectric facilities, reservoirs, and other infrastructure essential to meeting member agency demands. Operators interpret system data, adjust flows and pressures, respond to alarms or abnormal conditions, and coordinate system changes during scheduled or emergency shutdowns. They also conduct field inspections, perform minor adjustments or calibrations, and ensure all work aligns with standard operating practices and water delivery schedules. This position requires strong situational awareness, technical competency, and the ability to work independently while making informed operational decisions. System Operators may serve as the duty operator on a rotational basis, supporting 24/7 system operations and contributing to the Water Authority’s mission of providing a safe and reliable water supply to the region. The Ideal Candidate The ideal candidate is a self-motivated, safety-focused individual who thrives in an operational environment.
