Culture

Do work that matters. Leave behind a legacy.

When the future of an ecosystem depends on the work you do, your career takes on a whole new meaning. At South Florida Water Management District, this meaning is infused into everything that we do, from our conservation of this unique ecology to creating a working environment that reflects the mission of our organization.

We understand the importance of collaboration and partnership, of teamwork as well as individual excellence. Our goals are ambitious and challenging, so we celebrate our achievements while striving to learn from setbacks or mistakes. We respect the wisdom of experience as well as the innovation and enthusiasm of fresh perspectives. And we know that each of us has something to learn from one another, as well as something to teach each other. We expect a lot from ourselves, because we know so much is at stake, and that we can make a very real difference, so we also make the time to support each other.

Because we are proud of the dedication our people show, we reward them by recognizing their efforts and achievements, and emphasizing work-life balance. That means robust health benefits and enough time off to recharge; competitive salaries and opportunities for career advancement and diversification.

Behind all the work we do is the guiding force of our mission -- to leave a legacy of environmental stewardship for future generations, and enjoy the role we play in creating that legacy.
