Staff Splash: Meet Jamar

Jamar, Senior Accounting Technician, has had multiple roles at Mesa Water and is a fantastic resource when it comes to customer history.

How did you get into the water industry?

I had a family friend who worked at Mesa Water and there was an opening for a part-time Customer Service Representative. I was hired and shortly after, the District had a need for a full-time employee, so my position was changed to full time and I have been here ever since.

What would the community find surprising about Mesa Water?

Some customers may not know that we provide water for John Wayne Airport. Anytime you fill your water bottle at the airport, you are using Mesa Water!

What are some of your highlights working at Mesa Water?

I have enjoyed getting to know our customers personally and building a rapport with them to assist with any of their water account needs. I enjoy when they come to the Customer Service desk, and I get to catch up on their lives. One time, a customer came in to pay his water bill with a dog on his shoulder like a bird. The dog was so cute and friendly!

What are the various roles you have had at Mesa Water?

I had the role of Customer Service Representative for 18 years. Recently, our Senior Accounting Technician position opened up. Applying for the role seemed like a good fit, because there is a lot of crossover with my experience in customer billing. I began my new position in January and it’s been a great transition.

What do you enjoy doing when you’re not at work?

I enjoy spending time with my family. I also love gardening; I have a tropical theme going in my yard right now.
