Job Duties:

DWEE is seeking an Environmental Specialist II to support water quality and quantity programs through scientific analysis, program planning, data management, and stakeholder engagement. Success in this position requires a strong scientific foundation — including technical capability and sound scientific judgment — as well as the planning and communication skills needed to develop and implement the Division’s core programs.

Examples of What You Will Do:

  • Perform hydrogeological and water quality analyses, apply groundwater and watershed models, and interpret monitoring data to develop scientifically supported findings that inform planning, regulatory, and resource management decisions.
  • Collect, organize, and review water quality and quantity datasets from multiple sources; integrate data, spatial analyses, and modeling results to evaluate trends, uncertainty, and program effectiveness.
  • Use GIS tools to spatially analyze environmental conditions, trends and potential risks, review technical reports and data submittals for QA/QC and regulatory compliance, and develop figures to communicate scientific results. Perform technical components of water quality and quantity plan and program development, evaluation, and implementation across the Division’s core programs.
  • Coordinate with project sponsors, NRDs, municipalities, utilities, and other partners to support plan development, track implementation, and ensure deliverable compliance.
  • Review and evaluate grant applications, track deliverables, and prepare program outcome reports; contribute to operational workplans supporting statewide policy and Water Quality and Quantity Task Force goals.
  • Maintain and manage large multi-source datasets, GIS-enabled databases and other data products; apply established metrics and benchmarking tools; and use programming tools (e.g., Python, ArcPy) to automate data processing and reporting workflows.
  • Prepare and deliver presentations and written products — including technical reports, fact sheets, and outreach materials — for audiences ranging from technical colleagues to the general public.
  • Represent DWEE at public meetings and outreach events; coordinate stakeholder engagement processes; manage workplans; and prepare meeting agendas, materials, and notes.


 

Requirements/ Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor’s Degree in the physical sciences, natural sciences, environmental science, geology, biology, agronomy, civil engineering, environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, hydrology, community and regional planning, or a related field. Experience may substitute for education or a year-for-year basis.

Preferred Qualifications: 

  • Hydrogeological analysis, including groundwater and surface water interaction studies
  • Groundwater modeling (MODFLOW, particularly MODFLOW 6)
  • Computer programming (Python, ArcPy, MATLAB, R, or Fortran) for data processing and automation
  • GIS proficiency (ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online) including spatial analysis and database management
  • Writing and editing reports and other documentation
  • Records and data organization and management
  • Creating meeting materials such as agendas, handouts, and minutes
  • Stakeholder input or public participation processes
  • Creating figures to explain a complex concept
  • Quantitative or qualitative data collection and analysis
  • Natural resources or environmental planning
  • Education and outreach

Other (Required for this position):

  • Some travel is required for this position, including occasional overnight travel.  When not on approved, work-related travel, the employees’ work time will be completed at the DWEE’s Fallbrook office.
  • Valid driver’s license or ability to provide independent transportation
  • Ability to sit for long periods of time
  • Ability to maintain regular and reliable attendance; ability to work overtime or weekends if needed
  • Submit a resume with detailed experience relevant to the position (in years and months) and a current list of at least three professional references with phone numbers and email
  • DWEE will not sponsor non-immigrant work visas for this position

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities

The ideal candidate has:

  • A strong foundation in hydrology, hydrogeology, and water quality science, with demonstrated ability to apply technical analytical tools — including GIS, groundwater modeling, and data management — to real-world water planning challenges.
  • Can work independently to collect, analyze, and interpret complex environmental datasets; evaluate uncertainty; and develop well-supported findings that inform planning, regulatory, and resource management decisions.
  • Able to translate that technical work into clear communication — whether through written reports, public presentations, or stakeholder coordination — across audiences ranging from technical colleagues to the general public.

Has experience with natural resources planning, regulatory frameworks, and grant-funded programs is a plus, as is familiarity with Nebraska’s water laws, integrated management plans, and the agricultural systems that shape water quality and quantity across the state.
