Water Systems Operators
Salary Survey & Framework

Water systems operators are essential to ensuring safe and sustainable water services in First Nations communities. Recognizing the challenges they face, including fair compensation and professional development, the Saskatchewan First Nations Water Association (SFNWA) has developed two key resources:

  • Water Systems Operators Salary Survey: This report presents valuable insights into compensation trends, working conditions, and certification impacts, highlighting opportunities for improving job satisfaction and retention in First Nations communities.

  • Water Systems Operators Salary Framework: A structured, fair compensation model that accounts for certifications, experience, and inflation, aiming to provide competitive wages and recognize the critical work of water systems operators.

Together, these resources reflect SFNWA’s commitment to empowering operators and fostering long-term sustainability in water management systems across First Nations communities.
