Program Coordinator
Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department

David Badger hit the ground running when his career started seven years ago, and he hasn’t stopped since! In the time he’s been with the Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department in Tucson, Arizona, he has been an enthusiastic supporter of design-build, serving as Project Manager for numerous large projects involving treatment plants, pump stations, biofilters and conveyance systems. This led to his current role as Program Coordinator where he is currently managing the Twin Peaks Gravity Sewer Design-Build Project, which will provide a 4.5-mile sewer line to serve development in northern Pima County. The fact that he has assumed increasingly responsible positions at every stop of his career is a testament not only to his consistent work ethic but ability to keep the lines of communication open on all fronts. Emphasizing communication within the team on all of his projects, Badger also places a special focus on community outreach, so the general community affected by these projects are kept well informed of the impacts and activity.
