About Las Vegas Valley Water District
What is the Las Vegas Valley Water District?
The Las Vegas Valley Water District is a not-for-profit public water utility. In its own words, it is "a not-for-profit agency that began providing water to the Las Vegas Valley in 1954" and today "delivers reliable, quality water—tested and treated in state-of-the-art facilities—to more than 1.5 million people."
The District manages a complex water-distribution system across the desert Southwest. Beyond metropolitan Las Vegas, its service area takes in areas of unincorporated Clark County and the communities of Blue Diamond, Coyote Springs, Jean, Kyle Canyon, Laughlin and Searchlight. As a public agency, its work is long-term and infrastructure-led — water resources, treatment, conservation and reliable supply for a fast-growing region.
Where will I work?
On-site at the District's campuses across the Las Vegas valley, Nevada — principally the Molasky Corporate Center (100 City Parkway) and the Valley View Campus (1001 S. Valley View Blvd.). Live roles span engineering, IT and GIS, accounting and finance, water-resource planning and conservation, and customer care — a broad mix of professional, technical and operational work for a major utility.
What is the team like?
A large public utility of around 1,400 staff serving a major metropolitan region. The workforce blends professional and technical roles — engineers, GIS developers, accountants, conservation coordinators and analysts — with field operations and water-quality teams. As the District puts it: "We asked our employees what they love about their jobs. From IT to engineering to water quality, the message is clear."
Work-Life Balance
The District works a compressed 4/10 schedule. Its live job postings state the hours directly — a current GIS Developer posting reads "Hours of Work: 4/10s; M-Th 7am-6pm" — and the 4/10 pattern appears across its engineering, IT and analyst roles. Staff work four 10-hour days, Monday to Thursday, and have Fridays off, with no reduction in pay. Paid vacation and sick leave round out the time-off package.
