Will consider other work arrangements (e.g., remote work) on a case-by-case basis.
POSITION DESCRIPTION
We are seeking exceptionally qualified and motivated candidates with experience in water resources engineering, water systems modeling, and data science to join our expanding team.
Key responsibilities:
- Strategic project planning, workflow development, technical analyses, and project/task management and delivery.
- Synthesis of water systems-related data, engineering principles, and project-specific information into models, databases, reports, studies, specifications, andother technical deliverables.
- Most working hours will be at a desk in front of a computer. Position may occasionally require travel, off-site field visits, and overnight stays.
DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS
General
- Undergraduate or graduate degree in engineering, data science, environmental sciences, or another related field.
- 2-5 years of experience in water resources engineering, water systems modeling, and data science.
- Pursuit of a graduate degree will be considered as years of experience.
- Proficiency with Excel and other Microsoft Office Suite programs required. Proficiency with Python and/or SQL a plus.
- Strong interpersonal skills and motivation to collaborate and proactively communicate with a diverse project team and colleagues in both in-person and virtual settings.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, especially relating engineering topics and analyses.
- Experience with (or connection to) irrigated agriculture. Experience with irrigated agriculture in California a plus.
Water Resources Engineering
- Proficiency with water budget approaches, including understanding measurement principles and methods for typical flows in the surface water system (e.g., stream flows, diversions, precipitation, evapotranspiration)
- Experience with water use efficiency and water conservation studies.
- Experience with water management planning, such as Groundwater Sustainability Plans or Agricultural Water Management Plans.
Water Systems Modeling and Data Science
- Theory and practice of at least one of the following: finite element (e.g., DWR Integrated Water Flow Model (IWFM)), finite difference (e.g., MODFLOW), hydrodynamic (e.g., HEC-RAS), and rainfall-runoff (e.g., HEC-HMS) modeling.
- Experience with data assembly, QA/QC, analysis, visualization, statistics, and reporting.
