Job Description
The City of Lake Forest is seeking a dedicated and detail-oriented Water Plant Operator to join our team at the Lake Forest Water Treatment Plant. Our operators play a critical role in ensuring the delivery of safe, high-quality drinking water to the community by operating, monitoring, and maintaining advanced membrane filtration and distribution systems. This position also supports the operation and maintenance of sanitary and storm lift stations.
This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who enjoys technical work, problem solving, and public service. We’re looking for people with a knack for fixing things, those who like to tinker, ask questions, figure out how things work, and solve problems. No experience working at a water plant? No problem. If you have technical or mechanical skills, enjoy troubleshooting, and are willing to learn, this could be a great fit.
