Manager Spotlight
Michael is a Maintenance Manager in the DWU/Pumping Division and has been employed with the City of Dallas for 16 years. “I am very impressed with the FreshStart employees we have now. They add a lot of value and experience to the teams they are assigned to. I believe the FreshStart program is important because it instills hope into citizens of Dallas that have been incarcerated and now are trying to better themselves. The fact is I believe in my employees and remind them they are a great addition to the City of Dallas family. We have 4 active employees now and we are in the hire action process of hiring 3 more candidates.
