The Office of the Delta Watermaster is charged with administration of the complex water rights system within the Legal Delta, the hub of California’s water distribution system as well as an environmentally stressed estuary.  Yet, the State Water Board’s system for managing data about water—the State’s most precious resource—is outdated and inadequate to support water rights administration.  As climate change adds to the challenge of efficiently administering water rights, as the Delta watershed faces recurring drought/flood challenges, and as demands for water throughout the watershed outstrip this physically limited resource, updating our water rights data management system is a critical imperative.  Recognizing this need, the State has authorized an ambitious multi-year project to replace the outdated electronic Water Rights Information Management System (eWRIMS).

The Delta Watermaster has an opening for a Senior Water Resource Control Engineer (Specialist).  The position is located at 1001 I Street, 14th Floor, Sacramento, CA, right in the heart of downtown next to light rail stations and other public transportation.

The Senior Water Resource Control Engineer (Specialist) position will bear primary responsibility for representing and guiding the Office of the Delta Watermaster (ODWM) to assure that the replacement data management system (UPWARD, CalWTRS), which is currently initiating its design phase, recognizes and meets evolving water rights data management needs and unique conditions in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
