Devin Snyder didn’t start out as an operator, but as
a maintenance technician at the Savanna Street Wastewater Treatment Plant in Jackson, Mississippi.
“I was 18, and a friend of mine told me about an opening,” he says. “I learned as much as possible because I could see that the current workforce was aging, and I wanted to eventually move up.”
