ADWR is seeking a Water Resources Supervisor focused on statewide water demand and supply, who is data-driven, creative, and passionate about water and natural resources. This position will manage the several members of the team responsible for development of statutorily required water supply and demand assessments for each groundwater basin in Arizona. This position will oversee the staff conducting research and completing data and policy analyses to inform the development of water supply (groundwater, surface water, Colorado River, effluent) and demand (agricultural, municipal, or industrial) estimates, scenarios, and projections included in the assessments. This position will also lead and participate in complex, interdisciplinary projects that require deep collaboration, a willingness to learn and challenge assumptions, and an awareness of the sensitive nature of water issues.
The ideal candidate will have experience with data analysis and creating forecasts, a genuine curiosity for environmental, natural resource, water and/or agricultural/industrial/municipal/supply policy issues; and will revel in data, data analysis, and research. The candidate will also enjoy asking questions, proposing ideas, and leading discussions about water conservation, supply, demand, and their related issues, working collaboratively to discuss and challenge those ideas, and using data to find possible solutions.
A hybrid work schedule (some work in the office and some work from home) is available for this position.
