Job description

Our Foundation

Sharyland Water Supply Corporation was established in May of 1968 for the purpose of providing safe, affordable drinking water to the rural communities in and around Mission, McAllen, and Edinburg. We continue to strive in that endeavor.

Sharyland Water Supply Corporation was created by a group of determined, community-minded men in the 1960’s. With the help of Farmers Home Administration, a loan was acquired and construction began to build a rural water system. Initially, 700 property owners committed to take water service once construction was complete.

Today, more than 50 years later, there are over 19,000 water connections on the system.

The Corporation has approximately 100 square miles of Certified Area, 800 miles of water lines, three water plants, four elevated storage tanks and plans for additional water system improvements in the works.

The Corporation has over 100 employees and a 7 person Board of Directors, all of whom are dedicated to the job required to ensure that Sharyland Water Supply Corporation continues to be the best it can be.

How Your Day Flows

You start with a quick review of active work fronts and overnight notes, then align with contractors on the day’s priorities and constraints. Mid-morning is spent walking sites, confirming progress against plans, and documenting what’s changing in real time. You’ll pivot between field conversations and desk work - updating logs, assembling clean documentation, and preparing clear status snapshots for leadership. As questions surface, you coordinate with engineering and GIS to keep records current and decisions moving. Before wrapping up, you reconcile materials/equipment/labor reporting, capture redlines for as-builts, and set the next day’s targets so crews can execute without surprises.
