Water resources management is stepping into the future and it's looking for a captain to steer the ship. Hillsborough County is on the search for an AMI Program Manager, a role pivotal to the implementation and oversight of its Advanced Metering Infrastructure project. The successful candidate will be the linchpin, connecting the dots between various teams and making sense of the complex puzzle that is smart water metering.
The job doesn't come light with responsibilities; in fact, it's loaded with them. The new hire will be orchestrating the interplay between IT, customer service, and field operations, not to mention tightrope walking through budgeting and project schedules. With a salary ranging from $75,129 to $106,412, the role promises more than just a financial incentive. The selected individual will get to spearhead initiatives that are primed to enhance operational efficiency, push customer engagement with real-time data and promote smarter water conservation practices. While juggling these tasks, ensure also that materials for the project are ordered and arrive timely so that work does not come to a standstill.
What does it take to be deemed 'ideal' for such a post? Hands-on experience in the water utility sector, particularly with large technology or infrastructure projects. This person will need to flex their PM muscles by keeping everything on track, from budget adherence to risk management, and ensure that all internal and external stakeholders are on the same page—the complex and sometimes arcane world of smart metering demands nothing less.
The role is not just about keeping the lights on but also about vision—the kind that sees beyond the immediate horizon. Bringing home the bacon also involves implementing process improvements and translating lofty organizational goals into actionable, detailed project roadmaps. The chosen one will have to interpret organizational goals and cunningly weave them into the AMI strategies, all while ensuring that budget monsters are kept at bay and the project milestones are hit at bullseye precision. A Bachelor's degree is the minimum entry card into this game, but a Master's or relevant project management certifications will give candidates a shiny edge.
