Welcome AWWA Members and Non-Members!

You may post a water or wastwater related job for FREE. This is normally a $250 fee but due to current tough economic times, your Chapter's Executive and Standing Committee has temporarily made it free through December 2010...it may be extended into 2011.

To add or search for a job posting, please hover your mouse over "Job" link until the flyout links appear, then click "Add a Job Posting" or "Search Job Posting" or just click the links at the bottom of this webpage. If you have any website questions, please contact our Communications/Website Chair, James Jones, for more information at Correspondence@setawwa.org.

Please note, each added job posting will be screened by one of the website administrators to approve or delete a job postings before it is uploaded on the SE Chapter's 'search job postings' webpage. This is a safety precaution to verify each added job postings is related to the water and/or wastewater profession.

1. Job Postings

a. AWWA: Get you member number out and post it at this webpage link. AWWA does not currently provide posting fees for various types of postings. A phone call to AWWA later and for an engineering posting, AWWA charges $249 per job posting on their national website. I am unsure what the rates are for other positions.

b. WEF: WEF fees for postings vary depending on the position. Go to http://jobbank.wef.org/rates.cfm for more information, then create a job posting.

2. Job Search with AWWA and/or WEF

a. Joint Website: Sometimes entities will post on association websites. AWWA and Water Environment Federation (WEF) combined their efforts to create a new website at http://www.workforwater.org/. This site is packed with resources to post or find jobs or prepare for rewarding careers in protecting public health and the environment. For those new to the water industry or veterans, learn about what it takes to work for water and get a great job for a great cause! It’s the place where students and job seekers can explore green careers, utilities will find a clearinghouse of resources for recruiting in the wonderful world of water, engineering, and more.

b. AWWA: Career Center– This is where you conduct your search online under “JOBSEEKERS.” Click “Search for jobs, career advice,” or “post resume.” National charges a fee for posting jobs on its website. Unfortunately, as of August 20 there are no engineering job postings in Texas and only two job postings for operators.

c. WEF: Job Bank– Conduct your job search through this website. After clicking “start your search now,” on the new window there are tabs near the top. Click the tab “Jobs,” then start your search following directions.

d. Other Resources: Some entities (agencies, municipalities, utility districts, companies, etc.) post their job openings on their own websites. Go to the entity’s website and click on the link related to “Careers” or “Jobs” on a tab or menu on the top of the homepage. If the entity’s career or job links are not obvious, then they may be hyperlinked (in a different color) on the homepage. For example, for the City of Houston, it states: “Here you can apply for a job, pay traffic ticketsand water bills, find out about Houston eventsand the Mayor's Office of Special Events, and learn about the City governmentthat serves you. View the City's Code of Ordinancesand the City Charter.” If you cannot find hyperlink text on the homepage, conduct a word search on the entity’s search engine using career or job. Usually, the search engine is on the top right side on the entity’s homepage. Note: this search engine is just for topics within the entity’s website. It is not an internet search engine like Google.
