Lee Beauchamp, co-founder of O-P-S LLC, has over 12 years of leadership experience managing public works departments and facilities—specifically in area of water and wastewater treatment.
A licensed Professional Engineer, Lee was the Operator in Charge of the Cortlandt Manor Consolidated Water Department in New York and the Wicomico County Public Works Department on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

His experience inspired him to launch O-P-S LLC with the creation of WaterOPS, a suite of cloud-based water monitoring software that helps municipalities meet and exceed water quality standards—and avoid potential costly violations.
His operational experience leading major public works projects has been crucial in the architecture of the compliance engine in WaterOPS that helps municipalities and facility managers meet the needs of engineers and licensed inspectors in the field.
“WaterOPS empowers facilities managers and municipalities with assurance and confidence when reporting to regulators,” Lee says.
Lee holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering from University of Delaware and a Master’s in Business Administration from Wilmington University. He is currently serving on the executive board for the County Engineers Association of Maryland and is a Staff Sergeant in the Delaware Army National Guard.
Lee credits the mentorship and programs offered at hotDesks for accelerating the development of his startup business.
“Membership in the coworking space at hotDesks is absolutely helping us launch our products and services way ahead of schedule,” he said.
He also said the hotDesks accelerator program moved at the pace of his days at Army bootcamp—where he was prepared “to meet major challenges in a relatively short period of time.”
Lee completed hotDesks’ first 6-week accelerator program in April and his company recently won a grant from the Shore Hatchery Entrepreneurship Competition at Salisbury University. The money will go to continue research and development of WaterOPS.
The company is seeking investors at this time, Lee says.
