Employment Opportunities

The Commission offers rewarding careers in public land management, environmental science, engineering, resource management, legal, title and boundary, and many other areas. We offer a fulfilling work environment with professional development and growth opportunities. The Commission also offers internships for undergraduate and graduate students. Please call our personnel office at 916.574.1910 if you are interested in working for the Commission or in an internship.

If you are new to employment with the State of California, obtaining a job at the Commission will involve two steps. The first step is taking a civil service exam for the position you are applying for. The second step is participating in our hiring process for the position you are applying for. If you already work for the State, you may not need to take the civil service exam (check with your human resources office). For more information about that and other state exams and job opportunities, please visit CalCareers.
