Positions at the Water Boards may be eligible for telework with in-person attendance based on the operational needs of the position.
The State Water Resources Control Board’s Office of Enforcement (OE) has two openings for permanent, full-time Attorneys in its State Water Board Programs Legal Branch. These vacancies present a rare opportunity for entry level attorneys, with less than five years of legal experience in the practice of law, to represent enforcement staff at both the Regional Water Boards and the State Water Board in water quality and water rights enforcement as part of the Board’s cannabis cultivation program. OE acts as legal advisor to both the State Water Board and the nine Regional Water Boards in all matters relating to enforcement. While most OE attorneys focus on serving either Regional Water Board or State Water Board staff, the cannabis program attorneys work closely with both. Each position requires frequent adversarial engagement with the regulated public, stakeholders, non-governmental organizations and other government agencies. The positions are located at 801 K Street, Sacramento, CA 95814. The building is a short 5-minute walk to CalEPA headquarters and is conveniently located near public transportation. 801 K Street has on-site permitted parking for a monthly rate and secure bicycle parking.
