This position requires reporting and working in the office four days per week.

Join our team of highly motivated engineering professionals who are performing important and exciting hydrology and water resources work! This position offers a unique opportunity to combine science, technology, and public service while contributing to California's water resilience and climate adaptation efforts. We hope you’ll check out the Duties and Desirable Qualifications below and apply for this great career opportunity to join our team performing hydrologic modeling, snow surveys, and water supply forecasting and providing critical data and forecasts to our partner agencies and the public for most major river basins in California.

These include the California Cooperative Snow Surveys program, the Aerial Remote Sensing of Snow program, the statewide hydrometeorological monitoring network, and the Water Supply Forecasting program.

Under the direction of the Snow Surveys and Water Supply Forecasting Unit manager, the incumbent will develop and maintain runoff forecasting models and hydrologic analyses, use Python, machine learning, and advanced modeling tools to improve forecasting capabilities, collect and analyze field data from remote mountain and watershed locations, produce and communicate water supply forecasts to water agencies, reservoir operators, stakeholders, and the public, and collaborate with State, federal, academic, and industry partners on innovative water forecasting initiatives, and help manage the interagency CCSS program.
