The Association of California Water Agencies Joint Powers Insurance Authority – ACWA JPIA for short – is a partnership of water agencies dedicated to avoiding the high cost of commercial insurance. Formed in 1979, JPIA is not an insurance agency or carrier. It is a risk-sharing pool for property, liability, workers’ compensation and employee benefits, which allows for more rate stability, broader coverage and expanded benefits and services than private insurance. Our offerings are unique to the water industry; member agencies themselves – their directors and managers – have selected and refined the various programs. Only agencies that demonstrate a commitment to effective risk management programs are accepted in to JPIA.
ACWA JPIA is an award-winning risk pool for California public water agencies, and we are excited to announce an opening for the position of Risk Control Advisor II or Senior Risk Control Advisor (depending on experience and education). The advisor will be responsible for the Central Valley of California (supporting members in Fresno, Tulare, Kings, Madera, and Merced counties), and it is strongly desired for the candidate to live in or around these counties. The advisor will be joining the Risk Management team and will work under the direction of the Risk Control Manager and will join a dynamic team of eight other employees. This position was added to the team earlier this year to support our members’ growing needs. This position is fully remote; however, up to 50% or more of the time is spent in the field where they conduct general on-site risk management inspections to assess conditions affecting safety, risk control, loss prevention with emphasis on significant loss areas and advise corrective actions, along with training on operations topics and safety issues. Overnight stays will be required. The ideal candidate is a proactive and relationship-driven professional who builds trust and collaborates with member agencies. The candidate will have strong communication and interpersonal skills, allowing them to effectively convey complex risk management concepts, deliver engaging training, and continuously provide clear, practical guidance. The salary range for the positions are as follows: $90,403 - $135,604 for the Risk Control Advisor II and $107,459 - $161,190 for the Senior Risk Control Advisor. To determine approximate total compensation, add an additional 38% to the salary. This more accurately represents the total benefits received as an employee. Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, and the Employee Assistance Program are 100% covered for the employee and their dependents. JPIA is a member of the CalPERS retirement system offering Classic and PEPRA membership. For the job profile and application procedure, please go to the JPIA’s website, www.acwajpia.com.
