Jonathan Campbell, a water and sewer worker for Fort Oglethorpe City, said crews locate and fix leaks, clear sewer backups, and that the job offers strong pay and benefits; he encouraged interested people to apply, calling the workplace supportive and the interview process revealing.
Jonathan Campbell, who operates water and sewer services for Fort Oglethorpe City, described the work he and his crew do to keep the city's pipes flowing and urged people interested in similar jobs to apply. "Well, if there's there's a leak on one of these water lines, we go and we dig it up, we find the problem, we fix it," Campbell said.
He said sewer work follows a similar routine: "If anybody ever has a backed up sewer line, we go around, we clean it out, make sure it's flowing again." Campbell said the team dynamic is strong, adding, "You can trust everybody here. Everybody has each other's back, and you never really need anything. Snap your fingers, somebody's on top of it."
Campbell also praised compensation and benefits, saying, "The benefits are fantastic." He noted his wife previously worked at US Xpress and switched her coverage after seeing the city's plan. "The pay is great. I love the pay. It's perfect for my lifestyle," he said.
On recruitment, Campbell encouraged potential applicants to apply and use the interview to judge fit: "Come in, put in an application, do the interview process, and I think during that interview, you're going to know if this job is for you."
