Certificates that raise your pay

• The other side of the fence

  Holding both drinking water and wastewater certifications makes you useful at any utility and is a straight pay bump.

• Distribution and collection

  Separate certificates for the pipe networks outside the plant. Many utilities want operators who hold both.

• Backflow prevention tester

  A short, well-paid specialty certification that can be done as side work in many states.

• Laboratory analyst

  Certified lab work inside the utility, better hours than shift operations.
