The Salton Community Services District (SCSD) was formed in 1955. It is located in California on the west shores of the Salton Sea, about 33 miles southeast of Indio. The area is known for its camping, off-roading, and parasailing opportunities. Housing is dominated with affordable single-family homes under 20 years of age.

The district is responsible for parks and recreation services, sewer services, street lighting, landscaping, and solid waste services in the unincorporated areas of Salton City, Desert Shores, and part of Vista del Mar. About 2,000 households are served. SCSD is governed by a locally elected five-member board of directors.

The district is headquartered in a newer 7,250 square foot building. The district manages two parks and three sewage treatment plants.

We’re looking for an energetic, self-motivated, and goal-oriented person with exceptional communication skills and customer service abilities.
