Deirdre Blackard
@deirdreblackard
I build asset management programs that move water utilities from reactive work to data-driven lifecycle management.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've led asset management programs for Beaufort Jasper Water and Sewer Authority, Greenville Water, Rockdale County Water Resources, and KCI Technologies, building EAM/CMMS implementations, risk matrices, condition-assessment programs, asset hierarchies, and rehabilitation planning for water and wastewater utilities.
Over 20+ years, I've helped utilities turn plans into practice through lifecycle management, GIS and CMMS data governance, preventive maintenance, quality-control workflows, and technician training. At Rockdale County Water Resources, I helped deploy satellite leak detection that saved 86% in operations costs and reduced system-completion time by six years; at Gwinnett County, I trained more than 100 personnel for PACP/MACP certifications, saving $85,000.
