We love coming to work everyday and you could too.
Here’s why:
Purpose
We are a group of hard-working, committed professionals who find purpose in ending the Global Water Crisis! From engineers to marketing professionals we are all driven by this common goal and will do whatever it takes to make it a reality!
Culture
We love our jobs and we love working with each other. Sometimes we go rock climbing together, other times we snowshoe. Every Friday morning we come together for an hour of bible study and once a month we head out of the office for our “Thursday Afternoon Club.” Work hard, play hard is a part of our culture and we take it very seriously. Oh, and we’re dog friendly too!
Location
Mountains! City! Yay! We think Denver is the best city in the country and we think you’ll agree. Our office is located in Golden, Colorado, sitting in between downtown Denver and the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
There are still 1.8 billion people in the world drinking dirty water. You can do something about that.
Working to end the global water crisis is a privilege and honor and one that we don’t take for granted. Waking up each day with purpose in your professional life is a gift and something we highly value. When you work at Healing Waters, you are a part of a small team doing really big things – big things we can’t do without a lot of determination, hard work, and grace.
