Corporate Staff
PeopleService was founded in Omaha, Nebraska. This is our home port from which we serve all the communities that partner with us. We invite you to contact any of our corporate staff for anything you need.
Chad Meyer
President
In his role as president of PeopleService, Chad is laser-focused on every aspect of the business, fostering its continued growth and working directly with seven region managers to insure that the company is operating in total alignment. His job is to communicate the company’s vision, and make certain that every contract PeopleService handles has the correct resources, knowledge and tools available to meet the demands of the contract and exceed expectation.
“The key to PeopleService is our people. Our people are our greatest asset, they are the public face of PeopleService. We have brought together a group of talented and committed professionals who are invested in their work and diligent about serving the communities they live and work in. Integrity is key. The communities that employ our services trust us to give them the full benefit of our expertise. We are always learning and advancing our knowledge about every aspect of the water/wastewater business.
One of the most rewarding aspects of this job is presenting service awards to our employees. We have so many long-term employees that go that extra mile for our customers. They believe in what we do and give so much of themselves. It is truly an honor for me to recognize all that they do to make PeopleService so successful.”
Chris McMillen
Director of Sales
Navy veteran Chris McMillen is the newest member of the PeopleService team and brings a wealth of strong strategic sales and management experience from across the nation, most recently in Tampa, Florida.
“Alan and Chad Meyer’s integrity and passion instantly attracted me to PeopleService where I know I can make a positive impact. I love that the organization is just like a family. There is a wealth of knowledge here, and everyone collaborates and shares thoughts and ideas.
Communities across the country are losing qualified water/wastewater operators and PeopleService’s expertise and talented workforce is an instrumental solution to this problem.
My role is to sit down with city administrators and leaders to discuss what’s keeping them awake at night and how PeopleService can help.”
When you meet with Chris, ask him about his days in comedy improv. When he isn’t cracking a joke or talking water/wastewater solutions, you can find him fishing, golfing, at the BBQ grill and working on his home brew.
Jonathan McDonald
Director of Operational Programs
Certifications
– Nebraska Grade II Water
– Nebraska Grade I Wastewater
Jonathan believes that safety is first and foremost. Before beginning his new role at PeopleService, he was the Missouri Valley Hubs Safety Coordinator for 7 years. He plans to make sure that all current and future employees have the training necessary to do their jobs safely.
“Working at PeopleService is like working with family. We are a company that cares about our employees and we make sure that we provide the training needed to get the job done. So many communities stay with PeopleService due to our employees being from that community and living there. We have great relationships with the city officials and the people that live in those communities.”
Outside of work, Jonathan enjoys spending time with his family. All three of his children are involved in sports which he enjoys watching. Jonathan and his wife coach soccer and he also coaches baseball and football.
Dennis White
Industry Ambassador
Dennis White is a 40-year veteran of the water and wastewater industry and spearheads the PeopleService drive to recruit into the sector by working with High Schools, Community Colleges and Rural Water Districts throughout the Midwest.
“I spent over 40 years in the water and wastewater business and couldn’t have had a more varied and rewarding career,” said Dennis. “Being able to serve the communities where I worked on such a vital resource is something I’m really proud to have achieved. Now my role is to engage the next generation in this career choice. A little education goes a long way and I’m great at spreading the word. So far it’s working,” he added.
Dennis started his career as a plumber – he holds a Master Plumber’s license – before heading up the wastewater department for the City of Clarinda in Iowa from 1979 to 1993. He then joined PeopleService where he was Region Manager up to 2019.
“It’s not in my nature to retire, so when PeopleService President Chad Meyer asked me to be the first Ambassador in the sector, I was honored to take up the role. There is nothing I like more than to give back something to an industry that gave me such a rewarding and truly satisfying lifetime career. Now I get to help students set out on that journey.”
