Meet - Juan M. Vega
Juan Vega has been with Stockton East since September 2013 and is currently the Assistant General Manager, supporting our constituents by overseeing the District’s operations, engineering, water supply and maintenance departments. The employees are Juan’s favorite part about working at Stockton East.
Juan selected his current profession because he wanted a career that would utilize his analytical skills and finds the most job satisfaction from seeing the culmination of collaborative effort coming together to overcome challenges. There are always new challenges and getting to that end result as part of an organization that is critical to the health and economic well-being of so many people in our area is humbling to him. Outside of work, Juan most enjoys playing and watching sports (soccer, basketball, and football). Something most people do not know about Juan is that he owns more than 300 audiobooks and listens to them daily. Juan is a valued employee of Stockton East, an integral member of our team, and a contributor to our success.
“I have the privilege of working alongside Juan, who provides an incredible amount of support to the management team, our customers, and myself for the daily operation of SEWD. Juan is admired by staff, and appreciated by our Board of Directors, and SEWD wouldn’t be the same great organization without him. I truly value our partnership in making SEWD a regional leader.”Justin M. Hopkins, General Manager
Meet - Cameron Adams
Cameron Adams has been with Stockton East since March 2023 working as a Water Treatment Operator, supporting our constituents by ensuring the delivery of quality water by overseeing the proper operation of treatment equipment and water conditioning processes. Cameron's favorite part about working at Stockton East are his co-workers, the dogs, the vegetation, and the wildlife around the property.
Cameron chose his current profession based on his military experience collecting and testing potable water at base camps and aboard ships. He later enrolled in Water Treatment and Distribution courses, finding the field fascinating, which led him to pursue a career in water treatment. Outside of work, Cameron most enjoys spending time with friends and family, watching sports, lifting weights, and eating good food. Something many people don’t know about Cameron is that during his time with the Coast Guard, he sailed from north of the Arctic Circle to south of the Equator and spent three years living in Puerto Rico. Cameron is a valued employee of Stockton East, an integral member of our team, and a contributor to our success.
“Cameron has consistently performed at a high level in operations, working well with other departments to ensure a reliable supply of high-quality drinking water. His adaptability and teamwork have been key factors in maintaining smooth and efficient operations.”James C. Wunderlich
