Position Summary
The Colorado Water Center (CoWC) is developing a program to diversify and expand Colorado’s water workforce to better address current gaps and needs. We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic individual to join the CoWC team as the Water Workforce Program Coordinator, who will work closely with the CoWC Associate Director in developing and implementing the Water Workforce program. The coordinator must be able to take initiative and work independently, foster relationships with a diverse group of stakeholders, plan and deliver outreach-related events, and execute community engagement and collaborative partnerships across the state.
Success in this position requires the ability to interface and communicate easily with diverse organizations and stakeholders, and the ability to learn about services and structures of the CSU System to make effective connections between external partners and CSU. The coordinator is expected to work with the Associate Director to develop proposals for external funding to support development of the Water Workforce Program. The coordinator will also support the implementation and expansion of the Water Literate Leaders program, which furthers water workforce development by building water knowledge and networks among community leaders. This position requires prioritization among multiple projects, adaptability, effectively meeting deadlines, and handling the unexpected with professionalism.
The primary office location is in Fort Collins, CO. While this position is eligible for a hybrid work arrangement, the individual is expected to maintain a balance by establishing a presence in the primary office to effectively carry out the duties of the position. Work schedule will vary but some nights and weekends will be required. This position will include occasional travel within Colorado. The position is supervised by the CoWC Associate Director.
