Our Water Resources team in California tackles the State’s water problems from drought resilience to climate change vulnerability. This role will support water resources planning and management and infrastructure projects for local, regional, state, and federal water-related agencies and organizations throughout California and other locations. As the successful candidate, you will use your technical abilities to assist in a wide variety of projects in a dynamic planning and design team setting.
