Commissioners Name Lee Beauchamp as New Water and Wastewater Superintendent
The commissioners named Lee Beauchamp, P.E. as the new superintendent within the Water and Wastewater Division of Public Works. He joined Public Works on November 24, 2025.
Beauchamp has more than two decades of leadership experience in public works, environmental services, engineering, and operations management. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Delaware and an MBA in Business Administration from Wilmington University. He is a licensed professional engineer in Maryland and a former State of New York public water system operator.
“Lee brings a tremendous skill set and knowledge base with him to Worcester,” Public Works Director Dallas Baker said. “He is hard working, smart, and has great attention to detail. I know he’s already looking at ways to make things run more efficiently and save money.”
Prior to joining Worcester County, Beauchamp served as director of Public Works for Wicomico County, where he managed roads and solid waste operations with an annual budget exceeding $12 million and led over 120 employees. Earlier, as deputy director of Environmental Services for the Town of Cortlandt, New York, he served as the responsible operator in charge for municipal water and sewer systems encompassing more than 160 miles of water mains, multiple sewer districts, and pump stations. His career also includes senior operations leadership in the construction and infrastructure sector.
Beauchamp also serves as a first sergeant (E-8) in the Delaware Army National Guard, with over 26 years of service and deployments in support of overseas and domestic operations. His military experience reinforces his approach to disciplined leadership, risk management, and team development.
“I remain committed to maintaining safe, resilient, and cost-effective utility services while preparing the County’s infrastructure and workforce to meet future growth, regulatory, and climate-driven challenges,” Beauchamp said.
In his role as superintendent, Beauchamp provides executive oversight of Worcester County’s public drinking water and wastewater treatment, distribution, and collection systems. He is responsible for regulatory compliance, capital planning, operational efficiency, workforce development, and long-term infrastructure sustainability to ensure reliable service for residents, businesses, and visitors.
