What staff have to say about working at the District
“I have been with the District since 2012. One of the reasons I like working here is that it allows me to interact with a variety of skilled and professional people.

-AMY BUBLITZ, RECORDS PROGRAM ADMINISTRATOR
“I started at the District as an intern in the laboratory while in college. Within a few months, I knew the District was a place I wanted to have a career at. I found it incredibly rewarding that my work was ensuring public health and that the environment was cared for here in Madison. Not only did I find purpose in my job, but I also loved the people I worked with. I worked multiple summers in the District’s lab and eventually got a full-time position a few years after graduation. During my time here, I have created lasting friendships with my coworkers and seen tremendous advancement in the various initiatives throughout the District. I look forward to continuing my career at the District, working hard to continue the great legacy of those who worked before me to maintain my community.”
-Jessica McCammon, Chemist 2
“My first job at the District was as a seasonal well water sampler intern. I worked with many talented people and knew that this was a great organization to pursue a career in. After the internship ended, I applied for a position as a relief operator and thankfully was hired into a role that provided me an opportunity to learn and grow in the organization. After several years serving as an operator, I decided to use the District’s tuition reimbursement program to educate myself in the field of electrical and electronics technology. Eventually, I moved into a role as an apprentice electrician. There is always an opportunity to learn, and the work is rewarding. I am encouraged by the camaraderie in my workgroup, the role I play in serving the community, and the financial security provided by the overall benefits package available through the Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District.”
