About the Position:

The Walla Walla District US Army Corps of Engineers is comprised of motivated and talented employees providing the very best engineering services for communities in the Pacific Northwest.  The District's civil works' boundaries generally follow the Snake River drainage basin and includes approximately 107,000 square miles in six states - Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, and small parts of Nevada and Utah.   A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers officer commands the District's professional civilian workforce of more than 800 personnel in engineering, scientist, technician, trade/craft, and administrative support staff positions.  The District helps manage local water resources for navigation, flood damage reduction, disaster assistance, hydroelectric power generation, and other natural and heritage areas.

Walla Walla means "place of many waters" in the Nez Perce language.  The city, which provides a great quality of life, is a medium-size community nestled in the Blue Mountain foothills of SE Washington.  There is a terrific array of outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, fishing, snow and water skiing, hunting, and boating on the nearby Snake and Columbia Rivers.  The average commute is 15-minutes or less, which is another reason why Walla Walla is wonderful for families.  There are three colleges/universities in the immediate Walla Walla area including the renowned Whitman College.  These institutions provide a wide variety of cultural, academic, and athletic opportunities.  The Walla Walla Valley is a lush agricultural region with a seasonal Farmer's Market downtown and with more than 100 wineries calling the Walla Walla Valley Appellation home and being nicknamed by many as the "Napa Valley" of the Pacific Northwest.  The dry climate has four distinct seasons with plenty of sunshine. The crime rate is low, and there are 3 hospitals and 6 libraries.  Walla Walla has its own symphony and several local playhouses, live theaters and during the summer months, outdoor movies! The city has a national reputation...in July 2011 Walla Walla was named by USA Today as the “Friendliest Small Town in the U.S.”, in 2001 the city won the Great American Main Street Award, and in 2006 Walla Walla cited by MONEY Magazine as the best place in the U.S. to retire.  There is no state income tax for Washington state residents and all parking is free.  We invite you to join this notable community.
