Christoph Dobson

General Manager (District Engineer)

As SacSewer’s General Manager, I’m excited to invite you to consider joining our team of more than 800 dedicated professionals. Working for a utility responsible for protecting public health and the environment isn’t just a career—it’s a calling—and we have a diverse selection of positions to choose from.

But let’s start first with our “why.” Put simply, the work we do at SacSewer matters—and not just to the 1.6 million people currently living in our service area. It also matters for future generations and the 27 million Californians who rely on the Delta we discharge to for some portion of their water. These individuals will benefit from the projects, planning, and initiatives we’re undertaking now with our forward-thinking and sustainable approach to doing business.

Every staff member plays a vital role in helping us deliver on our mission. Whether you’re interested in a position in the field working on infrastructure or supporting a business function internally, we are a community of experts working toward a common goal. At its core, our work preserves and protects public health and the environment and supports the economic vitality of our region.

Choosing to work at SacSewer goes beyond the critically important role we play in the region. At SacSewer, we are also intentional about our culture and regularly track employee engagement through our partnership with Gallup. Data shows that higher levels of engagement mean better business outcomes and better health and wellness for employees—inside and outside of work. And we consider that a win-win.

Check out our social media channels to get a glimpse into life as a sewer steward. If you’re ready to have your efforts directly impact public health, environmental sustainability, and the quality of life for generations to come, I encourage you to apply.

Where We Serve

The Sacramento region is a vibrant and diverse area offering exceptional quality of life. Known for its rich history, diverse culture, and natural beauty, Sacramento is the state capital of California and the hub of the Northern California economy. The region provides a perfect blend of urban and suburban living. Sacramento’s extensive parks, outdoor recreational opportunities, reputation as the Farm-to-Fork Capital of America, and proximity to world-class destinations like Lake Tahoe, Napa Valley, and the San Francisco Bay Area make it a paradise for nature lovers, food enthusiasts, and adventure seekers.

With a commitment to sustainability and innovation, the Sacramento region is ideal for professionals to advance their careers while enjoying a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle. It is also one of the more affordable home-buying metropolitan areas in the state, and it has a skilled workforce, high graduation rates, and access to top-rated schools and universities.

SacSewer’s service area spans 386 square miles in the Sacramento region, home to the California state capital and 1.6 million residents. SacSewer serves the cities of Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Folsom, Rancho Cordova, Sacramento, and West Sacramento, and the communities of Courtland, Locke, and Walnut Grove.
