The \u201cSilver Tsunami\u201d is primed to hit the water sector.<\/p>\n

According to research from Brookings, the water workforce will lose millions of people<\/a> to retirement within the coming years. This isn\u2019t unprecedented, of course; people don\u2019t keep their jobs forever in any sector. The problem is that too few workers are lining up to fill water retirees\u2019 shoes.<\/p>\n

Without a pool of talented candidates in the pipeline, the water and wastewater industries will face serious challenges. The first relates to potential burnout for existing employees. As their colleagues leave, existing staff might be expected to pick up the slack.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the second issue? Workers who are open to the idea of replacing retirees might not have enough skills to fill available jobs because they haven\u2019t accumulated years of institutional knowledge. Consequently, even though younger workers might be eager to commit to careers in water, they will have to start at entry-level positions. As such, the sector could suffer from a significant middle or upper management gap until newer employees catch up.<\/p>\n

Despite these pitfalls, the water industry isn\u2019t without options. Knowing that this tsunami is on its way, water utilities large and small are planning their response.<\/p>\n

Turning Mass Retirement Into a Watershed Opportunity<\/h4>\n

How are forward-looking systems preparing for the en masse outflow of retiring workers? Some have put succession protocols in place; they\u2019re hiring young operators and billing clerks today, expecting to fast-track them into supervisory positions later. Or, they\u2019re encouraging high school students and graduates to apply for an apprenticeship, mentoring, and emerging leader programs. For example, the National Rural Water Association partnered with my company<\/a>, CoBank, to develop the WaterPro Apprenticeship Program to give more entry points into water careers. By being pragmatic, companies are also hoping to improve racial and gender diversity among employees \u2014 something that\u2019s notoriously lacking in the world of water utilities.<\/p>\n

Other water companies are wooing talented young and mid-career candidates with high starting salaries, sign-on bonuses, and enhanced training. They\u2019re also appealing to Generation Z\u2019s desire to support the environment and community by touting the altruistic aspects of working to bring a clean, healthy, and necessary resource to all people.<\/p>\n

Another driving factor that particularly appeals to those in their late teens and early 20s is the chance to revolutionize the water industry through technological disruptions. As tech natives, Gen Zers appreciate being able to apply technology to solve problems. By showing them that water careers can involve sophisticated systems, many younger workers become more open to the idea of making positive impacts in a lucrative field they never considered \u2014 and one that desperately needs their input to thrive.<\/p>\n

More Than Just Another Job Option<\/h4>\n

Ultimately, the demographic and personnel changes taking place across water utilities can have a positive ending. After all, there\u2019s still enough runway to help workers learn about the advantages of working in a utility field as anything from an operator to engineer, billing clerk to office manager, and eventually, building to general manager.<\/p>\n

Two major upshots include being able to step into a stable job without the need for a college degree as well as earning a competitive salary with regular raises. Of course, college graduates can also find satisfaction in water-focused roles. Plenty of folks can work for water utilities, while those with a focus on environmental or policy issues can find a home at federal agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency or state and national associations.<\/p>\n

True \u2014 the younger generation might not gravitate toward the water industry overnight. That\u2019s OK. As long as younger people get a steady taste of how advantageous working in water can be, they should start to trickle into the candidate pool as job openings arise.<\/p>\n
