Water-Utility Classification Fluency

Written in the Vocabulary of Your Workforce

Our methodology is purpose-built for California water districts — not a generic municipal template dressed up for a water agency. That means fluency in CalPERS classic and PEPRA tier mechanics, SEIU MOU step structures, Proposition 218 rate-funding constraints, and the operator series that run the District’s plants and collection system.

  • Operator Series Depth

    Water Treatment Plant Operator I–V, Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator, Collection System Worker grades, Lab Analyst, Pumping System Mechanic, Cross-Connection Specialist, SCADA Technician.

  • CalPERS + PEPRA Tier Handling

    Benefits comparability properly actuarialized across classic and PEPRA members — not collapsed into a single misleading average.

  • JPA + Triunfo Co-Employment Nuances

    Recycled-water and sanitation Joint Powers context understood, not hand-waved.

Verbatim excerpts from PPQs submitted by HR Directors, Deputy Directors, and General Counsel on prior HSG engagements. References available on request.

U.S. Department of State — U.S. Embassy Pretoria, South Africa · 2008–2010 and ongoing

Standing Key-Personnel Reference — Gilda Weech-House (Senior HR Officer)

Engagement value: Multi-post Foreign Service HR program · Gilda Weech-House served as Senior HR Officer under Ms. Haskell's supervision; HSG Key Personnel on RFP 902714.

5/5 overall
I loved working with Gilda Weech-House — 2 years as her direct supervisor and many years seeking her advice on thorny HR issues. She is knowledgeable, helpful, and available. She always knows what needs to be done and gets it done. She presents the case for the 'right thing to do' while remaining within rules and regulations. Her broad international experience — where she had to be deeply familiar with local labor laws, various compensation plans, and a wide variety of positions — sets her apart from most HR professionals. She handles stakeholder communication with compassionate directness. Gilda is amazing at building relationships with the people necessary to make positive changes in the many embassies where she worked, often with workforces over 2,000 local staff and 1,000 U.S. hires. She is the most exceptional HR person I have worked with. Gilda is the best HR professional I worked with in my 30+ year career.
