DEFINITION
Help keep the District's projects moving through the contracts that make them possible.

This position is open until filled, with the first review of candidates taking place on November 16, 2026, or until a sufficient number of qualified candidates have been received, whichever occurs sooner, so apply early.

El Dorado Irrigation District is seeking an Administrative Analyst I/II to join the Office of the General Counsel and support the District's contracting program. You'll draft, review, and administer public works construction contracts and professional services agreements, and help manage the bid and proposal processes behind the projects that keep a full-service water utility running.

You'll work with engineering, operations, finance, and legal staff, serve as a liaison between the District, contractors, and consultants, and support compliance with the laws and regulations that apply to a public agency. EID provides drinking water, wastewater, and recycled water, and operates a 21-megawatt hydroelectric project, four reservoirs and their dams, and miles of flumes, canals, siphons, and tunnels on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada. That variety means no two contracts are alike.

This is a flexibly staffed series, so you can start at the level that fits your experience and grow with the District. If you're detail-oriented, enjoy turning complex requirements into clear agreements, and want to be part of a collaborative legal team, we want to hear from you.
