About the role
AlphaGov is seeking a Special District / Solid Waste Authority Compensation & Classification Consultant for project-based engagements with solid waste districts, sanitary/irrigation districts, water/wastewater authorities, and similar special-purpose public agencies.
You will lead or support classification, compensation, and total-compensation studies for operating, technical, craft, professional, and management roles common to special districts — including pay structures, market peer sets, benefits valuation, and implementation recommendations. Ideal candidates have completed class/comp or total-rewards studies for solid waste authorities, sanitary districts, irrigation districts, or comparable special districts (not only general city/county HR).

Lead or support classification and compensation studies for special districts and solid waste / utility authorities

•
Evaluate premiums, certifications, shift differentials, and total compensation practices
•
Support job classification audits, rating manuals, salary ranges, and implementation cost models
•
Prepare clear reports and board/management presentations (including multi-district joint studies when scoped)
•
Contribute special-district technical content to AlphaGov proposals and scopes of work
