Denver, United States Environmental Protection Agency Full time

As Director of the Water Division, the incumbent serves as the principal advisor to the Regional Administrator on all water management program matters, plans the division program objectives, and manages the activities of the division in accordance with agency program guidance.

The division is responsible for implementing the provisions of the Water Quality Act of 1987, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Under these statutes and in accordance with implementing regulations and agency guidelines, the division director has the ultimate responsibility for assuring that the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the region's waters are restored and maintained so that water pollution does not constitute a threat to human health and the environment and to protect the quality of drinking water in the region.

Specific duties include:

Providing overall direction and management for the division.
Directing program operations by providing guidance on interpretation and application of federal regulations, statutes, policies, and programs.
Establishing strong working relationships with key officials of EPA; other federal and non-federal agencies (including representatives of state, tribal, and local governments); elected officials; representatives of private industry and professional groups; members of environmental organizations; and the general public to ascertain problems/issues and advise and coordinate on all aspects of the program.
Serving on committees and panels and representing the region at national, interagency, state, and local levels.
Accomplishing or directing actions to determine the effects of proposed or enacted federal or state legislation, new or proposed program requirements, new or improved technology, emergency situations, and court decisions.
Ensuring that extramural resources, both procurement (contracts) and assistance (grants, cooperative agreements, and interagency agreements), are efficiently and appropriately managed in order to maximize use of the agency’s resources.
Overseeing the development, assessment, and improvement of management control systems to safeguard programs and achieve mission results.

As an Agency senior leader, the incumbent will view policy and personnel decisions through both an Environmental Justice (EJ) and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) lens to support the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, grants, and policies regardless of race, color, national origin, or income. This includes consideration of the effect of their work on communities with environmental justice concerns. Engagement with impacted communities in decisions, integrating equity and justice and compliance with all civil rights requirements, will be taken into policy considerations and program implementation to ensure that EPA achieves its mission for all communities.
