Brett looks forward to a long career with EBMUD.

Brett manages the construction of large-scale capital projects at EBMUD’s pumping plants, reservoirs, rate stations and water treatment plants. By supervising schedules and budgets, identifying solutions to overcome obstacles, coordinating input from various departments and responding to community needs, he keeps projects on track and ensures successful and safe completion.

Brett thrives in the fast-paced and unpredictable work environment that construction has to offer. “You come into work in the morning and you have no idea what is going to happen that day. You have to expect the unexpected.”

Brett was promoted into his new position after spending the last several years as an Assistant Engineer working in the field. He recently oversaw the Orinda Water Treatment Plant shutdown; a massive $22 million project. He credits the fantastic teamwork at EBMUD for the success of the project. “There is no such thing as a one-person show in construction. Everyone has to work together to keep the job moving on time, on budget, and with no injuries.”

After five years with EBMUD, Brett has no plans of leaving.

“The people here are top-notch and every day is an enjoyable experience. I hope to have a long successful career here.”
