Meet - Zach Zamaroni
Zach Zamaroni joined Stockton East Water District in April 2026, and currently serves as an Electrical Technician 1. He enjoys the variety his position offers, whether he's assisting the mechanics, traveling to one of the District's remote facilities, or helping maintain the electrical systems that keep water flowing to our community. He especially enjoys working outdoors and takes pride in helping maintain the electrical systems that deliver reliable water service to the District's agricultural customers and local communities.
He chose a career in electrical maintenance because it provides the stability and work-life balance that allows him to build a home and family while pursuing a rewarding profession. Throughout his career, he has learned that the effort invested in any task is usually rewarded, whether through a sense of accomplishment, personal pride, or professional growth. That philosophy motivates him to give his best effort every day.
Outside of work, he enjoys spending as much time outdoors as possible. Whether he's backpacking in the mountains, taking his wife fishing on their boat, or working on his turbocharged square-body Chevrolet pickup, he enjoys staying active and taking on new projects. Looking ahead, he is most excited about welcoming his daughter and raising her with his wife as they continue to grow their family.
Many people may not know that Zach proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps, including overseas deployments. His dedication, strong work ethic, and willingness to help wherever needed make him a valued member of the Stockton East team.
"Zach has been a great addition to our Electrical Team. His positive attitude, initiative, and willingness to tackle whatever comes his way makes him someone the team can rely on. I look forward to seeing him continue to grow in his career and contribute to the District's success."Paul Teixeira, Electrical Supervisor
