    Engineering Geologists in the Southern Region Office assist the Department, other agencies, and the public with technical studies, data collection and distribution, and respond to requests for geological and hydrological information. They collaborate with other public agencies.

    Under general supervision of the Hydrogeology Section Manager, the successful candidate will assist with geological, hydrogeological, and engineering geological investigations, supporting efforts with DWR Regional Offices, the Sustainable Water Management Office, and the Division of Engineering.

Fieldwork may include installing and maintaining pressure transducers and telemetry equipment, geophysical logging, and site investigations.

    This position involves thorough data management, collaboration in a team setting, attending in-person and virtual meetings, driving, fieldwork, travel to meetings and training, and overnight stays.

    DWR values diversity and promotes an inclusive work environment that respects and celebrates differences, welcoming and valuing employees from various backgrounds, cultures, and experiences.
