Job Opening: Commission Clerk (Deadline: Feb. 5, 2026)

    The Delta Protection Commission is hiring an Administrative Analyst II to serve as Commission Clerk and become an integral member of our finance and admin team. If you believe in government transparency, love rural places, and want to feel good about the work you do, this job’s for you.

    The DPC’s mission is to protect, maintain, enhance, and enrich the overall quality of the Delta environment and economy. We do this with a focus on agriculture, recreation, and natural resources, while remaining mindful of the importance of the Delta to all Californians.
