What We’re Looking For
This role calls for a seasoned communicator who can think big, write sharp, and act fast—especially in politically sensitive or high-pressure situations.

Additional requirements include:
- Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Public Relations, Journalism, or related field
- 10+ years of progressive communications experience, with at least 3 years in a leadership role
- Strong background in stakeholder engagement, media relations, public outreach, and internal communications
- Ability to translate technical/financial content into public-facing messages
- Proven success managing teams and guiding creative processes
- Experience with emergency communications and acting as a public spokesperson
- Comfort navigating political and regulatory environments
- Bonus points for APR accreditation or IAP2 certification, grant writing, or utility/nonprofit sector experience

Description:
Are you an experienced wastewater professional ready to take on a leadership role? The Borough of Oakmont is creating a succession plan as the existing 30-year veteran WWTP Superintendent plans to retire before the end of 2025. The new Superintendent will learn side-by-side with our outgoing leader and grasp the reins on their own as Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Superintendent by mid-year to oversee the operation and maintenance of our treatment plant and three pump stations. If you thrive in a hands-on environment, have a passion for environmental compliance, and enjoy leading a team, we want to hear from you! The system is managed by the Superintendent and currently 3 full-time, well-experienced and seasoned employees.
Also, in 2025 the WWTP will commence with a 36-month, $16 million upgrade to its treatment system. 2 years of planning for this capital project places Oakmont Borough in a position that the existing leader is ready to step aside from the day-to-day operations and focus on two important things; the construction project and a well-earned semi-retirement. The successful candidate will have time to learn about the existing WWTP operations and at the same time, incorporate the upgrades into the existing facility.
Why Join Us?
Impact: Ensure the efficient operation of critical infrastructure that serves our community.
Leadership: Take charge of a skilled team and manage capital projects.
Growth: Expand your expertise in environmental regulations, SCADA systems, and wastewater management.
Key Responsibilities:
Ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal environmental regulations.
Oversee daily operations, maintenance, and staff at the WWTP and three pump stations.
Manage the Borough’s Pretreatment Program and collaborate with industrial customers.
Evaluate and prioritize short-term and long-term capital expenditures.
Assist in budget planning and financial oversight for plant operations.
Respond to and resolve citizen concerns professionally and efficiently.
