A former San Jose environmental services manager was recently hired by the city of Pleasanton’s Public Works Department in order to help support the city’s utilities and environmental services operations.
Nicholas Ajluni, who has about 15 years of local government experience, was set to begin his new role as Pleasanton’s assistant director of utilities and environmental services on Monday (March 2).
“We are excited to welcome Nicholas to Pleasanton’s Public Works leadership team,” Siew-Chin Yeong, director of public works, said in a city press release last week. “His depth of experience in utility operations, financial management, and regional collaboration will support our continued focus on delivering reliable services while strengthening environmental stewardship in our community.”
According to his LinkedIn, Ajluni worked as San Jose’s division manager of utility financial and business operations for the past two and a half years. During that time, according to Pleasanton city officials, he “advanced initiatives focused on environmental protection, watershed management, utility service delivery, and sustainability programs”.
Prior to that position, he also served as an administrative officer, a senior environmental inspector and a lower-level environmental inspector all within the city of San Jose, according to his LinkedIn.
“Throughout his career, Ajluni has led complex environmental and utility operations, strategic program development, and cross-jurisdictional collaborations,” Pleasanton’s press release stated. “He has developed innovative approaches to stormwater and watershed operations, engaged stakeholders, and worked closely with regional water and wastewater partners to address emerging environmental and infrastructure challenges.”
In addition to his work in San Jose, Ajluni also currently serves as a board member on BayWork, a “regional consortium dedicated to workforce development and career pathways in the water and wastewater industry throughout the Bay Area”.
According to the city’s press release, Ajluni will provide oversight of Pleasanton’s utilities and environmental services, which includes water, wastewater, stormwater and sustainability programs. He will also help advance the “ongoing system improvements and long-term infrastructure planning efforts”.
