Careers in the Water Industry

Join the Castle Rock Water team

Helping to produce clean water is arguably one of the most meaningful careers you could choose. This job affects every resident and business, every day, attributing to the health and safety of your neighbors, friends and family. There is always a need for clean water and careers in the water industry are plentiful and can be found across the nation and globe.

Jobs within the water industry are varied, requiring an array of skills. For instance, a water treatment operator manages the highly-technical instrumentation and processes of a water treatment plant, and requires extensive and continuous on-the-job training. A water distribution operator who operates and maintains the water lines, tanks and hydrants benefits from the ability to be mechanically inclined. Degreed engineers with civil, mechanical and electrical backgrounds design the water treatment processes, as well as the water distribution and wastewater collection systems. There are opportunities for chemists, analysts, computer techs, environmental scientists and more.

Castle Rock Water invites you to be a part of this dynamic and rewarding industry. We have several entry-level opportunities to gain education and experience, and also periodic openings for seasonal and experienced full-time positions.
