For the last 20 months, John Philip Flores has been learning new things daily at Las Cruces Utilities (LCU). For him, this job was the next step in a career with the City of Las Cruces, but now with a new focus: helping provide clean drinking water to his fellow residents.
For the past decade, Flores worked with the Las Cruces Parks and Recreation Department manning the athletic fields as a crew leader. Then he decided it was time for something new. He is a “conditional hire” with LCU, meaning that he has up to four years to get the certifications required to be a senior water maintenance worker.
Flores said he feels pride in providing quality water. “There are really endless opportunities working with the city, beyond the good pay and the benefits,” he said. “I didn’t have all the qualifications, but I thought I’d give it a shot.”
LCU is looking for workers with great attitudes. Consider applying and gaining certifications on the job. Check out the jobs at: www.las-cruces.org/JobsAtLCU
LCU can be reached at 575-528-3500 from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday-Friday. LCU provides services to approximately 100,000 Las Cruces residents and businesses.
