Come join our team as we protect our most vulnerable communities and aquatic life from toxic chemicals in the environment. Your work will help King County make good decisions about managing stormwater and wastewater to achieve the best water quality outcomes. As a Watershed Modeler (Engineer II), you will support work by other local governments and organizations who may use or ask support from King County with the use of our modeling toolkit. You will help us accomplish our goals in the following ways:


* Help us keep model inputs and results organized and accessible to the team and our partners.
* Use the watershed models to answer new questions to support effective investments.
* Work with colleagues across disciplines and agencies to improve the modeling toolkit to be more accurate and user-friendly. 
* Support collaboration within the agency and across jurisdictions.

We need a hydrological modeler who is interested in managing and using watershed and optimization models to estimate contaminant loadings and evaluate the cost and effectiveness of suites of stormwater and wastewater options. If you love to work collaboratively with other scientists and utility managers to protect people and the natural environment from pollutants, this job is for you.
