  • A 9 / 80 work schedule , giving you every other Friday off.
  • The chance to contribute to meaningful projects that strengthen California’s water systems and directly benefit communities.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Prepare construction drawings and technical specifications for water facility electrical systems.
  • Perform engineering calculations : short circuit current, arc flash studies, voltage drop, and breaker coordination.
  • Specify and procure major electrical equipment and develop bid packages.

  • Liaise with contractors, consultants, agencies, and internal teams.
  • Provide construction management and field inspections.
  • Contribute to rate case filings, annual capital budgets, and technical reports.
  • Present project details to agencies, districts, and community groups.
  • Work Model and On-Site Requirements :

  • On-Site in one of the four listed California offices (San Jose, Bakersfield, Chico, or Torrance)
  • Potential hybrid schedule for the right candidate
  • Standard 9 / 80 work schedule (80 hours over 9 workdays, with every other Friday off).
  • Travel to project sites, community meetings, and public presentations may be required.
