Charlotte Water’s Field Operations Division is comprised of approximately 300 full time positions, most of which are responsible for maintaining and repairing 4,664 miles of water and 4,638 miles of wastewater pipeline infrastructure. These employees are responsible for repair work that involves excavating multiple trenches and using various types of equipment such as pipe saws and other small construction/repair tools to perform daily activities and tasks. The Division operates out of four zones and facilities strategically located throughout Mecklenburg County NC and Charlotte Water’s service area.
The Division’s Safety Program is designed to establish and maintain a strong culture of safety for all field-related positions within the Field Operations Division. The program provides a structured framework that ensures compliance with regulatory requirements, reduces risk exposure, and promotes the health and well-being of employees, contractors, and the public.
Charlotte Water is seeking a Company to perform a safety audit of the Division, perform observations and analysis, and provide recommendations based on industry standard best practices, by submitting a written report to the Division.
Charlotte Water will enlist a company to provide vocational training to field staff on an as needed basis at the company’s facility. Training will consist of hands on heavy equipment operator training to ensure the proper use of equipment such as dozers, backhoes, excavators, and skid-steers. A training program will be developed mutually between the company and Charlotte Water to implement such program.
