City of Long Beach, CA
City of Long Beach, California, United States
DESCRIPTION T HE OPPORTUNITY Discover the vibrant City of Long Beach, where endless opportunities meet a dynamic coastal lifestyle. Long Beach Utilities offers a rewarding career in a city known for its rich cultural diversity, thriving arts scene, and beautiful beaches. Join a forward-thinking team dedicated to sustainability and innovation while enjoying the perfect balance of work and play. Make Long Beach your new home and be part of a community that values progress, inclusivity, and a high quality of life. Long Beach Utilities presents an excellent career opportunity to join a progressive organization dedicated to providing the highest quality of service to water, natural gas and sewer customers in Long Beach. Ideal candidates must have a proven track record of proactive, participative management experience and possess excellent interpersonal, problem solving, communication, leadership, and financial management skills. The General Manager is responsible for all functions of the Water, Natural Gas and Sewer Utilities. The General Manager will direct a staff of approximately 500 full-time employees led by an executive leadership team that includes three Assistant General Managers. The Board of Utilities Commissioners recently adopted a $378 million budget for FY25 to fund the Long Beach Utilities Department. The budget encompasses a $180 million Water Fund, a $165 million Gas Fund, and a $33 million Sewer Fund supporting infrastructure, maintenance and services from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025. LONG BEACH UTILITIES Long Beach Utilities provides three primary utility services to nearly 500,000 residents and businesses, including: a) the unfailing delivery of high quality, delicious drinking water, b) the safe delivery of natural gas throughout Long Beach (as well as the City of Signal Hill), and c) reliable sewer services. The City has successfully provided these three utility services to the community for over 100 years. These utility services are provided via a vast network of approximately 5,000 miles of underground pipeline. These services are provided 24/7 due to the dedicated professional employees who handle pipeline maintenance and construction, field operations, customer service, engineering, water quality testing, water treatment, sewer inspection, accounting, call center activities, utility billing, meter reading, emergency response, and many other services. In November 2022, the voters of Long Beach approved a change to the City’s charter to create the Public Utilities Department, consolidating the City’s water, natural gas, and sewer services into one department. This consolidation improved utility customer service, reduced impacts to streets through better coordination of pipeline repairs and achieves cost savings through economies of scale and efficiencies. Oversight of the City’s water, natural gas, and sewer operations is provided by the independent Board of Utilities Commissioners and managed by the General Manager who reports directly to the Board. Prior to the charter change, water and sewer utilities were provided by the Long Beach Water Department and natural gas services by the Long Beach Department of Energy Resources, formerly the Long Beach Gas Department. EXAMPLES OF DUTIES THE POSITION Under general guidance from the Board of Utilities Commissioners, the General Manager provides leadership in the implementation of Board policies and the development of strategies, business plans, budgets, programs, procedures, long-range plans and administrative and personnel management for the Long Beach Utilities Department. Specific responsibilities include: • Plans and evaluates executive staff performance, provides leadership and collaborates with the City executive team; establishes programs, services, and rates that best meet the needs of the Department’s customers; • Represents the Department before external organizations, including other governmental and regulatory agencies, private entities, professional and community organizations, the media, and the general public; • Oversees a variety of complex managerial and technical matters involving water and natural gas procurement and distribution, sewer operations, water, natural gas and sewer regulatory compliance, water treatment, water production, and development of new water supplies; • Directs the preparation of a wide variety of special studies, projects and reports, including working with and directing staff in collecting and researching information to identify and resolve operational and administrative problems, issues, and challenges.

DESCRIPTION T HE OPPORTUNITY Discover the vibrant City of Long Beach, where endless opportunities meet a dynamic coastal lifestyle. Long Beach Utilities offers a rewarding career in a city known for its rich cultural diversity, thriving arts scene, and beautiful beaches. Join a forward-thinking team dedicated to sustainability and innovation while enjoying the perfect balance of work and play. Make Long Beach your new home and be part of a community that values progress, inclusivity, and a high quality of life. Long Beach Utilities presents an excellent career opportunity to join a progressive organization dedicated to providing the highest quality of service to water, natural gas and sewer customers in Long Beach. Ideal candidates must have a proven track record of proactive, participative management experience and possess excellent interpersonal, problem solving, communication, leadership, and financial management skills. The General Manager is responsible for all functions of the Water, Natural Gas and Sewer Utilities. The General Manager will direct a staff of approximately 500 full-time employees led by an executive leadership team that includes three Assistant General Managers. The Board of Utilities Commissioners recently adopted a $378 million budget for FY25 to fund the Long Beach Utilities Department. The budget encompasses a $180 million Water Fund, a $165 million Gas Fund, and a $33 million Sewer Fund supporting infrastructure, maintenance and services from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025. LONG BEACH UTILITIES Long Beach Utilities provides three primary utility services to nearly 500,000 residents and businesses, including: a) the unfailing delivery of high quality, delicious drinking water, b) the safe delivery of natural gas throughout Long Beach (as well as the City of Signal Hill), and c) reliable sewer services. The City has successfully provided these three utility services to the community for over 100 years. These utility services are provided via a vast network of approximately 5,000 miles of underground pipeline. These services are provided 24/7 due to the dedicated professional employees who handle pipeline maintenance and construction, field operations, customer service, engineering, water quality testing, water treatment, sewer inspection, accounting, call center activities, utility billing, meter reading, emergency response, and many other services. In November 2022, the voters of Long Beach approved a change to the City’s charter to create the Public Utilities Department, consolidating the City’s water, natural gas, and sewer services into one department. This consolidation improved utility customer service, reduced impacts to streets through better coordination of pipeline repairs and achieves cost savings through economies of scale and efficiencies. Oversight of the City’s water, natural gas, and sewer operations is provided by the independent Board of Utilities Commissioners and managed by the General Manager who reports directly to the Board. Prior to the charter change, water and sewer utilities were provided by the Long Beach Water Department and natural gas services by the Long Beach Department of Energy Resources, formerly the Long Beach Gas Department.
