A Contractor to the Department of Defense (DOD) has an immediate position available for a full-time Class II or III Water Treatment Plant Operator at the Blue Grass Army Depot (BGAD) located in Madison County, Kentucky approximately 5 miles south of Richmond, Kentucky on U.S. 421. BGAD is comprised of approximately 14,500 acres with over 400 buildings, over 40 miles of various diameter water lines with valves and hydrants, and over 20 miles of various diameter wastewater lines with manholes and lift stations. The water treatment plant is a new state-of-the-art class III ultrafiltration system with a capacity of 0.72 million gallons per day. BGAD's water and wastewater operations not only serve BGAD’s Mission, but also numerous tenants. These tenants include Blue Grass Chemical Activity (BGCA), Blue Grass Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant (BGCAPP), Army Reserve, National Guard, and Contract Operations L3.
BGAD manages the operation and maintenance of their Government-owned water treatment plant, distribution system, wastewater treatment plant, and collection system through multi-year contracts that are renewed while the Depot is active to account for inflation and escalating work requirements. Schwarz Construction LLC renewed a multi-year contract on 12/1/2022. The Water and Wastewater Operations Superintendent has maintained the position for over 15 years and has a class IV water treatment plant operator’s license, class I distribution license, class II wastewater treatment plant operator’s license, and class II collection license. At the heart of BGAD’s mission is resiliency, which includes retaining operators through competitive pay, looking after the well-being of employees through Federal health and welfare benefits, rewarding excellent service, and fostering long-standing relationships.
BGAD has been steadily increasing the demand for potable water and the number of required tasks in the distribution system, new and standby water treatment facility, and wastewater treatment and collection systems. This posting is to fulfill a position to increase staff to meet these requirements, to ensure that all systems are sound, reliable, and compliant with increasing regulations, and to meet or exceed all DOD expectations at the Depot.
