<p class="MsoNormal"><span style>Hello Colleagues –<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style> <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style>I hope you are all doing well.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style>I wanted to reach out to you all because we have some exciting news here in the Hydrology Branch of DWR’s Division of Flood Management. We currently have one Water Resources Engineer vacancy advertised and another
soon to hit the job bulletin.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style> <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style>The current vacancy is for my section, Snow Surveys. As some of you know, our principle duty is to collect hydro-climate data and use it in our various models and equations to forecast seasonal and water year
runoff into the major reservoirs in California. We’re a dynamic group and are looking for an outgoing, creative civil engineer (can be entry level) to join our team. The job advertisement can be found here:
<a href="http://www.water.ca.gov/jobs/dwr_job_vacancies.cfm" target="_blank">http://www.water.ca.gov/jobs/dwr_job_vacancies.cfm</a> with instructions on how to apply, etc.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style>The specific job duties are here:
<a href="http://www.water.ca.gov/jobs/pdf/1421-3137-xxx.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.water.ca.gov/jobs/pdf/1421-3137-xxx.pdf</a>
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style> <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style>This is a GREAT opportunity for anyone you know who is interested in California hydrology, climate related work, reservoir operational studies, flood hydrology, flood emergency response, and field work. Yes…field
work! Our engineers get out and get dirty – depending on the interest of the individual they can do light duty and ride-alongs with other engineers an techs…or they can bust out the skis/snow shoes and tag along on a snow survey. As I said, the job offers
a great amount of experience for young engineers.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style>As the hiring supervisor, I am really looking for someone who can dive into some of our physical modeling needs – we are developing a suite of USGS’ PRMS models for all watersheds in the Bulletin 120, we’re going
to be supporting Mike Anderson’s State Climatology program, and we’re heavily linked to the expanding Forecast Coordinated Operation programs lead by my colleague and friend Boone Lek.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style>I can honestly say that working in the Hydrology Branch is where young engineers interested in hydrology and reservoir operational modeling want to be.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style> <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style>Speaking of Boone and the Res Ops Section – he will also be advertising a job fairly soon for another Water Resources Engineer – Boone is looking for generally similar skills and abilities as me. His section utilizes
HEC-HMS and ResSim models and also participates in PRMS development. His engineers also get field experience and participate in the daily river forecasting duties shared by other sections in the Hydrology Branch. Water supply, floods, you get it all with
our sections!<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style>The link above has information on how to apply for the job.</span></u></b><span style><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style>I strongly suggest interested candidates draft up a cover letter, a good resume, and GET ON THE WR ENGINEER list</span></u></b><span style> Immediately (link to exam:
