Job Description
Summary

This posting is open to all qualified candidates.

The Department of Natural Resources and Parks’ Wastewater Treatment Division (WTD) is seeking an energetic and motivated candidate to lead the Workforce Development Program.

The Program provides recruitment, mentorship, training, placement, and retention services for entry-level candidates who are ready to build their skillset or are new to the wastewater sector. Candidates receive extensive onboarding, participate in tours and site visits, and are provided with challenging assignments allowing exploration and collaboration with many WTD work groups.

The Project/Program Manager IV will support cohort members in determining their professional passion, place in our agency, and plan for continued career growth. They will do the following:
Lead cohort recruitment, onboarding, training, assignment generation, mentoring, and job placement.
Build relationships with and coordinate guest speakers from our planning, engineering, project management, project control, construction management units and other units throughout the agency.
Collaborate with internal partners to provide tours of our treatment plants and other facilities, career development workshops, and lessons learned workshops that lead to continuous improvement.

The Project/Program Manager IV will work independently, take initiative, and serve as a workforce development technical expert, also providing strategic advice to complex and multi-disciplinary programs throughout agency. Additional responsibilities include analysis, research, planning, policy development, systems development, and technology implementation.

Ideal candidates will have workforce development and community engagement expertise in the built environments fields, as well as proactive communication, passion for people leadership, and strong public speaking skills. Competitive candidates will also be strategic and skillful problem-solvers who value equity and environmental justice. Additionally, candidates who are proven people leaders with skills to measure, monitor, and communicate processes, progress, and results will be high value to the program.

About the Role:
We are stewards of The Clean Water Act and are charged with protecting the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of Puget Sound waterways. Rapid population growth, climate change which includes more severe storms and floods, and a high cost of living put a strain on our already aging regional wastewater treatment system. We need creative staff to help us address project backlogs, find efficiencies, and seek innovative solutions to challenging problems including a changing regulatory environment.

In this position you will also learn about WTD’s commitment to recovering and reusing products and resources from the wastewater treatment process. Recycling the treated water and nutrient-rich biosolids and recovering energy from heat and waste gases increases the efficiency of our wastewater treatment plants, conserves resources, protects the environment, and saves money.

At WTD, you will be part of a diverse team of talented interdisciplinary professionals and together you will make social and environment changes.

About the Team:
The Workforce Development Program allows participants to create real value for our WTD’s projects, programs, and agency while acquiring on-the-job experience, networking opportunities, and learning about wastewater systems. The program uses a cohort model where participants are placed in a group of their peers to complete training, tour job sites, develop job skills, and discuss their projects.

WTD has a strong commitment to equity and social justice. The program meets our goals by serving underrepresented populations, providing targeted outreach, aligning with in-demand jobs, and creating career pathway to combat occupational segregation.

Candidates can gain exposure to careers and opportunities they may not have imagined for themselves previously. Participants have used this experience to obtain permanent positions and promotions within WTD.

Commitment to Equity, Racial and Social Justice:
King County, named after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is a diverse and vibrant community that represents cultures from around the world.
