The City:
With more than 1.4 million residents, the City of San Diego is the eighth largest city in the United States and the second largest in California. The City of San Diego’s strong economy, diverse population, great educational institutions, unsurpassed quality of life, and world-renowned location make it the ideal place to work, live, and play. With its great weather, miles of sandy beaches, and major attractions, San Diego has something to offer for everyone.

The City’s Mission, as stated in the Strategic Plan is “Every day we serve our communities to make San Diego not just a fine city, but a great City.” The City’s Vision is "Opportunity in every neighborhood, excellent service for every San Diegan."

As one of the region’s largest employers, the City of San Diego employs nearly 12,000 highly dedicated employees and has a combined Fiscal Year 2023 operating and capital budget of approximately $5 billion. Additional information about the City of San Diego can be found on the City’s website.

The Department:
The Stormwater Department protects and enhances San Diego’s vibrant communities through exceptional public service and infrastructure that not only reflects the importance of clean water and flood-safe communities, but also that stormwater is a valuable resource that supports public health, the economy, the environment, and our water supply.

The department's vision is to create vibrant, sustainable communities through innovative flood risk reduction and water quality management. Our mission is to build and maintain efficient stormwater infrastructure for safe, sustainable, and thriving San Diego communities, and to keep water safe and clean.

The Stormwater Department is comprised of two divisions: the Planning Division and the Operations Division. Together, these divisions include 295 budgeted positions and have a $65.7 million annual budget as of Fiscal Year 2023.

The Position:
Under the general direction of the City of San Diego's Infrastructure Branch Deputy Chief Operation Officer, the Stormwater Director is responsible for planning, directing, and coordinating the daily operations of the Stormwater Department, and independently manages the major functions and programs of the entire department.

The Planning Division is responsible for implementing programs to reduce pollutants under National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements, commonly referred to as the San Diego Municipal Storm Water Permit. The Stormwater Director is responsible for ensuring the City’s compliance with Municipal Storm Water Permit Requirements. The Pollution Prevention Programs are described in the City’s Urban Runoff Management Plan, which may be viewed at www.thinkbluesd.org. In addition, the Municipal Storm Water Permit requires the implementation of six Water Quality Improvement Plans. The Planning Division represents the City in these regional and watershed efforts. The watershed programs may be viewed on the County of San Diego’s website www.projectcleanwater.org. Additionally, the Planning Division’s functions include Asset Management, Floodplain Management, and Capital Infrastructure Program.

The Operations & Maintenance Division is led by a Deputy Director who reports to the Stormwater Director. This division is responsible for operating and maintaining the City’s drainage conveyance system including 1,000 miles of pipes, 69 miles of channels, 12 miles of levees, 15 pump stations, 46,000 drain structures, and 510 water quality green infrastructures. The Operations & Maintenance Division also includes Street Sweeping, which cleans all improved City streets to collect debris that can block stormwater. This division also works closely with community groups, volunteers, and private organizations to clean and remove trash from storm drain channels.

There's no such thing as a "perfect" candidate. The City is looking for exceptional people who want to make a positive impact through their work, will serve their community proudly, and be excited to come to work every day.
